Hi,

Want to check whether can I find insurance company in Malaysia that will insure laptop for theft, fire, loss, damage etc?

Thanks.

T3 security has insurance for lappies
My toshiba comes with it for 1 year insurance

Thats property insurance rite?
But is it really necessarily?
How much is a laptop and how much u willing for insured it?
Unless your talking about 10 or 100 laptops

Is this a necessary?

For individual cases, it can be hard to get insurance for laptops... From my experience as a general agent, due to high claims, most insurers don't do these one-on-one laptop insurance anymore...

For companies though, its a different story altogether though...

They used to do it until middle of this year and suddenly all the insurers stopped.

You can get T3 theft only now that includes global coverage. ( we r selling )

As for fire, flood, etc...get a home content insurance.

~normal laptop only 4-5k, not worth paying 1k just for insurance, if the insure premium is cheaper, dun think any insurance want to do.
If u wana insure your data, better do backup frequent and set password.

Home user based laptop is roughly RM 3k to 4k and business class is roughly RM 6k to RM8k. If a home user wants to buy insurance for his laptop with a premium of RM 500 to RM 1k, my opinion is that it's not a worth.

RM500 - 1k? Not so high larr, more like RM199.00

Our retailer is giving them free to business customers and home users (high end laptops)

if paying that less...how much they willing to cover for a laptop lost ?? 1K ka...Last time i ask already...they just cover about 5-6k only...me cannot buy back my laptop if cover that amount...

self cautious is the most important lor...

RM199 is only warrantee price. Insurance wont be that cheap.
If insurance 1k to insure 5k, you lost it every 5years also worth.

Oi m8, what nonsense r u talking about? My company is selling the insurance for RM199 and covers up to RM6500 on laptops.

What company is that? can i insure my laptop which doesnt bought from your company?
Does it insure for stolen as well? or only accident damage?

Global Theft insurance larr..accident damage coverage is available from the manufacturer or get a home content insurance which covers flooding, repair cost, etc.

You can get it from our retailer, Alamtronica and they just opened in SS15 Subang Jaya.

Mention headache and they will sell you the insurance without buying the laptop from them.

Wah, so good ah? Who is the insurance company providing the cover then?

Underwritten by Mitsui Sumitomo therefore global coverage.

Interesting info.

Really appreciate it!

Thanks & have a good weekend.

Oh ic... Never knew MSIG is offering such insurance cover... I'll have to give them a call myself to find out more info (reminder to self!)...

Brother got another pakage that cover laptop 10k bellow ?? Plan to get one for my laptop...more secure for my lovely laptop
Can cover for the laptop age how much??1 or 2 years old izzit or 5 years old laptop also cover ??

Sorry m8, don't think I can help u. We only arranged to bundle our notebooks with the insurance.

U need to redirect your question to insurance salesman above. Anyway, I don't think you can claim the full amount after the 2nd year.

Good Luck!
