Last Minute Laptop Options
Last response: in Laptops & Notebooks
I'm about to buy a Dell Vostro 3550. They have a killer deal going on with $300 off. I have a last minute question that I just can't decide on. Should I upgrade the RAM from 4 gb to 6 gb dual channel for 60 bucks, or should I get Dell's 1 year accidental damage warranty for 60 bucks? I'm pretty careful with my stuff, but I just want to be sure this laptop is going to last me. I'm going to be using it for gaming on some intensive games such as Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Starcraft 2 (OK, maybe not that intensive ![:p]( ":p")
). I also got the upgraded dedicated video card (AMD Radeon™ HD 6630M). So what should I do? 1 year accidental warranty, or the RAM upgrade?

Hello cpoullas;
Excellent choice of laptop IMO.
Skip the RAM upgrade. Does the accident coverage also cover theft?
I'd actually favor an extra year warranty coverage over the 1yr accident coverage.

I am not a student, but I will be in the fall. Why skip the RAM upgrade? You don't think I'd notice a difference?

2GB for $60 is a bad value and of little use for most typical usages.
For $40 you can upgrade the RAM yourself from 4GB (if you order the 4GB 1 stick option) to a full 8GB.
I was thinking student accident/theft insurance. $55 for $2000 coverage for a whole year through NSSI and covers more than just laptop. Cellphone, MP3 players, etc.
