What I ask is... Will Dell Service Me, If i dont extend my warranty package on call Basis..???

Yes. Of course, but at a fee. There will be a service tag number on the bottom of the laptop base. You just need to mention that.

Oh!! Thanks...

Representative of Dell told me there will be no option like that...
Thanks...

Is it so ? Whom did u ask? Some friend told that if warranty is not there then also you can avail paid support. I'm still not sure of this.

This Basic Install is mandatory I think. Even if you deselect Rs.900 Basic Install on the configuration page, when you checkout, it automatically adds to the price. Maybe it is a way of underplaying the price. Like instead of 50800 they advertise it as 49900 and make it up in the Basic Install fee. What he did for me was basically unpack all the parcels that the laptop came in, and switch it on and register windows XP, which I could've done it myself. Its really not worth it. But there is no other go.

You can confirm about the price after warranty per visit by calling 18004258046. I don't have a BSNL landline at office, so I am not able to check that. If you can check and post here, it'll be useful for me too. My 1 year warranty is getting over on May 13th, i.e., 2 days from now. :(

Ya sure...

But while you buy the extended warranty or CompleteCover along with the laptop in the first go, then it doesn't cost so much. Thats why I kept insisting to Ganesh that he buy the warranty along with the laptop itself. A 2 yr extended warranty should cost around 6k and the CompleteCover should cost 8-9k when bought along with the laptop.

While you configure the laptop itself, you can select this.

@Ganesh: I've ordered my Dell laptop a couple of days before you did, I will update this space if there is any development in that regard.
