Regarding extended warranties...
For those of you who have boughten extended warranties from ODM's, what do they cover? Normal wear and tear, and just parts and labor, if batteries stop taking a charge, if pixels burn out sometime...etc...the main thing is if they cover normal wear and tear, and if the batteries stop taking a charge...thanks guys

batteries are considered a consumable item by every retailer i've heard of and the warranty doesn't even cover it if I'm not mistaken.

I have a found a few that do cover normal wear and tear...just from everyday use...but they don't have the CL56...or the M6BNe for that matter...

dell for one, bestbuy (a farse, but they claim it, and they cover the battery), i think most retail places, and I have found I think one ODM, but they had like 3 notebooks, that I had never heard of, and weren't popular lappys
