Oh, I never buy anything electronic when it is made for a store chain. I did twice in the past an it was a nightmare. I'm a firm believer that if it is a special made for store it is junk - they are probably putting in the low end electronics to meet the store price.
Just my thoughts but like I said I've been burned in the past and learned from it.
As to the comment about HP - I've heard it before but I've had 3 desktops, 1 laptop, 3 printers - 2 inkjet & 1 laserjet, a camera and scanner all from HP. The reason for the 3 desktops was upgrading as was the second inkjet an upgrade. I only had something breaking once after a couple of years but I had bought the store warranty and it was fixed for free. Computers is the only thing I ever buy the extended warranty on.
