Dell US ups warranty for Inspiron notebooks

Darius Chang | Apr 04, 2006

From three months to a year, that is how much more warranty all Dell US Inspiron notebooks will get from today. A quick check of its online stores in the US confirmed that the one-year service period has been implemented across the board. According to the PC manufacturer's press release, this move "brings consistency to warranty service offerings across all categories of Dimension and Inspiron computers".

In Asia Pacific, only the entry-level notebook and desktop have less than a year's service and support. The budget-level Inspiron 1300 laptop and Dimension 1100 desktop are still bundled with 90 days of service and support. On Dell Singapore's online store, the former offers a one-year service package for S$69.30 (US$46.38), while the desktop provides only a direct upgrade to a three-year warranty for S$113.40 (US$75.89). According to Dell Asia Pacific, the shorter coverage is a reflection of consumer demand for low cost PCs. As such, the company currently has no plans to upgrade the warranty period for budget systems in this region.
