That would be my strong recommendation as well. Laptops have timers in them that make them go bad the first day out of warranty. I would only skip the extended warranty if the machine gets only light use, but that doesn't describe how any of us use our machines. Dell actually did work under warranty on my 8200 even though it was a week past the warranty expiration, so at least their customer service was pretty good IME.
