thats why when i found old laptops selling at abnormal price, i will avoid them.

we need to have strong common sense about the pricing as well.

its true.

technology is hard to chase as every year there will be newer models. my point of view towards buying laptops and phones :
Phones - buy the highest end of the particular brand and change every 2-3 years.
Laptops - buy the mid-high end ones of the particular brand and change/upgrade every 2-3 years. for upgradeable laptop's case, just upgrade the graphics cards once in 2 years.
however, this only applies for those whom are lucky.

but i have weak sense of laptop pricing since i mainly focus on learning spec and not price
and who know how my uncle might get mix up with the "free gift"
and for msi xc61,
normally the warranty is how long ?
and if i were to extend it, how much would i cost to extend to 3 years ?
