The former CEO of our company has an x300 - very high-end dell. He's dropped it several times and every time Dell has replaced the entire computer for free - most recently (this past week) they sent him another new machine and the computer is almost 3 years old The complete care warranty is one of the best in the business and well worth the extra $300 bucks if you're rough with equipment. I don't think anyone else does that.
