I see so many laptops and tablets come through for repair it's crazy. I do have to say that most of the time it's due to infections of some sort. They could be Viruses, Malware, Spyware or Adware. You can check out one of my other blogs for help on cleaning viruses. I am sure I have a few posts on this blog about cleaning viruses. I would make sure your system is always backed up. If your working with a tablet I would always save data to a good size flash drive. If you use a Kindle I generally don't think the infections will be a problem. If something becomes corrupted I would just reinstall the system to correct it.
As far as laptops go there are plenty of good systems to choose from. One safe idea is to read any reviews you can on what ever laptop you are interested in. I would also look into extended and accidental warranties. Usually the warranty is only a 1 year manufacturer warranty and most likely will not cover accidental damage from a liquid spill or a cracked lcd display. Always make sure to back up your system in case Murphy's Law strikes. Remember anything bad that can happen will happen.
The same theory applies to tablets and kindles. Especially if you have a very expensive tablet or Kindle. Most of the time these may not be expensive, but if you have to repair one it may cost more to repair it then it's worth. Always ask the service center if they have an authorized technician and do they have the proper equipment to do the job. I have seen some places use entirely the wrong tools. The result is more damage to your item then it came in with. I have seen various Laptops, Tablets and Kindles look like they went through the war or maybe a dog chewed on them. You should not have to pay more for someones inexperience.
