Well, the screen on my laptop cracked and it is 3 weeks shy of two years old. Had I bought the extended plan it would have saved me 370.00.

That is the estimate I was given to fix it because the LCD is obsolete and can only be purchased from China. Normal LCD repair is 199.

So now I am looking for a new one for 450.

I'm not sure I understand the logic in not buying them.
You should buy better products? Buy them at Costco and the extended warranty is automatically added.
