Limited Warranty- is it worth it?

I am in the process of buying a notebook for our daughter to take to college. Do you think extended warranties are worth the extra money you pay?

I can do all my own repairs but with the cost of parts so high I would still get the extented warranty if buying new laptop.

Yes. Anything can happen to a compute. Hard drive, Mother board etc a warranty covers those repairs
