Id watch out , unless its from a wholesaler. Most stolen laptops are sold on ebay. However, if you purchase one locally at a retail store, warranty plans (which I highly reccommend) can be purchased. I bought probably 4 laptops in the past 6 years, and have used the warranty at least once or twice for each laptop for dumb reasons, and even paid for a worn out lcd. They pay for themselves a lot of times in my opinion.
