I would presume We get to choose the replacement with a given budget of £original price + 10%?!? Or that would be a lil pedestrian... can someone confirm? i hate reading small print ^_^

Based on previous experience I wouldn't even buy a laptop from FSC if it meant I would get a new one every three years for the rest of my life and my money back.

List of mishaps in two years on a single machine:
- Broken charger (2x)
- Broken off powerconnector
- Overaged battery (2x)
- Dead harddrive
- No OpenGL-videodrivers
- Broken of hinges of screen (2x)
- Backlight bleeding
- Backligt defect

And that was without dropping it even once.

Perhaps they don't mean anything by it, but Clause 5 of their T & C s states:

"The replacement Lifebook value will be determined by the original purchase price shown on the invoice, increased by 10% every 3 years. For example; a Lifebook purchased for £1000 today would be exchanged for a model with a recommended retail price not exceeding £1100 in 3 years time."

So, they can provide you with a replacement model with a recommended retail price *not exceeding* £1100 - so they could provide a replacement for £ 199, say. This makes the offer a little pedestrian, doesn't it?
