GTX 1060 MSI Laptop with 4 Year Warranty or GTX 1070 MSI Laptop with no warranty?

[Sami Dib]

Hello,

I'd love some help regarding my little issue here.

I've purchased this laptop - http/www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX65073 and had a price match to it as well as added the 4 Year IPR insurance on it (Basically, Memoryexpress will fix ANY issue the laptop faces for the next 4 years - if they cannot fix it in 5 business days, they will hand me a brand new one - no matter the problem, even it's 1 dead pixel on the screen).

Now my question is this - with the money spent on IPR, I am able to buy this laptop - http/www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX65122

This is the identical unit with a GTX 1070 on it and that is the ONLY difference - everything else is identical.

After doing some math, it would cost me around the same thing without insurance. So my question is, since I've been told gaming laptop suffer a little more than normal laptops, did I make the smarter move or would you suggest I go with the GTX 1070 without insurance? I've heard MSI warranty is hell to deal with.

Your help on this would be highly appreciated and thank you for taking the time to assist.

Cheers,
Sam

Don't know if I would pay 1/4 the laptop cost for a warranty, but it will help you feel better about owning the system. If it was me, I'd get the faster system with just the standard warranty.
