Request for copy of Insurance Policy Document for HP 110-1037NR Netbook

I'm about to purchase, through Office Depot, an HP Netbook 110-1037NR for an 8th grader. It seems prudent to also get insurance for this thing at time of purchase - and you apparently handle that. Now the "associate" at Office Depot told me his understanding of the policy and what's covered, but a copy of the actual insurance document is much more complete and can be reviewed and, if necessary, clarified.

So - I'd appreciate receiving a copy of the insurance policy for this NetBook - via e-mail.

Please e-mail to: snipped-for-privacy@accesscom.com

Thanks

For an 8th grader?. You do know that they're VERY creative when it comes to disabling, killing, destroying, electronic equiptment. One of my "adoptees" killed cell phones by

  1. dropping in the toilet
  2. dropping in a sink full of water
  3. dropping in a tub full of water
  4. dropped in the pool
  5. spilled a soda on one
  6. dropped one in a bowl of cereal - and milk
  7. left it on the lawn and the sprinklers got it
  8. dropped it in a puddle and the one you'd probably never even think of
  9. a dog peed on it

I haven't gone through the insurance policy, but I was told it'd cover just about anything other than B-B-Qing the computer. Might be a good buy IF (and it probably will) something happens to this laptop (note the word "laptop" - which can easily become floor top, or pool, or . . .

Not a bad investment at all, the insurance policy. I purchased a lap top for my son in college and for my wife. I got the policy that covers dropping, breaking, and etc. My wife had her computer setting on the coffee table charging, Our Great Dane walked by and her tail caught the charger cord, got scared and took off. The computer landed on the ceramic tile floor upside down. No harm. Had I not gotten the insurance policy the thing would have broken into one meal-yun pieces.

a "rider" on your home insurance policy is one thing, the policy sold by the store is another - just watch the cost - and an 8th grader can take care of things (at least mine could at that age). Maybe making clear that "you break it, then you fix it" will apply will help develop a careful attitude. Just like having my older daughter spend a whole summer painting and working on the car she would drive ingrained in her the notion that you take care of cars (and she still hates a jitterbug)

I would be fearful of using or making a claim on my home owners insurance policy. My particular policy gives me a substantial discount, larger than the insurance policy cost purchased with the computer for not having a claim in the last 3 years.

And yes and 8th grader can take care of things but in this day and age where schools have no authority to disepline the "kids" who knows what could happen to some ones computer. Kids today are not as respectful of others property as a result.
