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!

Yups, from 2nd-year onwards, the value of your notebook will depreciate... Thats y its best to insure your notebook in a similar manner with your car, which is to follow the market value... That way, you know you'll not be over- or under-paying the insurance premium...

I have seen a computer shop sell T3 security, i will likely to get it when I buy new lappie (very soon).

frm the site, i saw many C2D HP laptops which are not in HP mainsite, are they available?

Yah, my notebook and even my Dopod 818 Pro have insurance converage for theft and accidental damage.

Both are insured by Mitsui Sumitomo (last time called Aviva/CGU).

Once my laptop was damaged due to burst pipe on the upper floor of my office. Sent to compaq and it cost more to repair then it was insured for. Aviva paid me in full and got myself a new notebook

Anyone can tell the info about insurance cover under T3 security package?

Tq

I have not claimed before, and hope I never need to

They insure all brands, but need to be within 6mths of purchase.

Strangely, they don't even need to see the actual appliance when I applied, so maybe it's possible to claim thru this AFTER you have lost it......

thanks god... i going to post this topic....
lucky im found 1 here...

wait... after reading all....

what is the conclusion leh???

im blur...

im intending to insured my 3 months old Fujitsu laptop... where and how i can insured it leh???

hey bro, how u insured ur laptop???
how much it cost leh???

Eh, now got insurance for laptop de... Saw advert in newspapers... Acer laptop comes with Free insurance!!

hurm. i heard tokio marine insurances provide notebook theft insurance. but donno how much it is.

i can check because my company's laptop that i recently got is insured from theft

My laptop is insured by Am Bank. It cover theft , fire , and spills

sell insurance is one thing.. being able to claim is another... do read the fine prints exclusion clause...
