I'd add that these are generally only worth it (in my experience) if they
are available through the manufacturer, or a reputable local shop. Dealing
with third-party warranty companies is a PITA, and the fine print almost
always ends up taking a big bite out of the benefit.
Relatedly, I too am shopping, to replace a Thinkpad T23. The T61 is right up
there for me, as is the Dell XPS M1330. I'd like to support someone like
System 76, and the Darter has all the bullet points, but I'm concerned about
build quality. They seem to use a lot of plastic in their construction, and
after being used to the magnesium alloy tank that is the Thinkpad, I'm
afraid that might be disappointing.
