Always purchase the warranty from the manufacturer, given the choice.
Retail store warranty service is often at the hands of a third-party
that might not have timely access to parts or be satisfied with a
"replacement in kind" outside of your control.

It would be cheaper to just purchase your laptop with a gold or platinum
VISA or Master Card. They will automatcally extend the 1 year warranty to
two years. I had the motherboard on one of my Pavilions take a dive six
months after the one year warranty. I had to take it to the local computer
repair shop, but VISA reimbursed me the $366 it cost to get it fixed.
