I think it has a two-year warranty for an additional $3.


I don't know. Some of you guys are computer science majors. So the 
computer itself means a lot to you. You know, like car enthusiasts. I've 
never bought a new car. I don't pay that price for a car. A car to me is 
something that passes inspections and doesn't look like a wreck and 
reliably and comfortably takes me to places I want. Such a car is a 
tenth of the price of a new car.

Same with computers. I have a heck of a lot of fun with something as 
simple as BASIC-F app on my 2nd hand android phone. I program with it 
stuff to use when walking, etc. Stuff that are so fine tuned to exactly 
what I need that no app on Google Store can do. Computer itself is not 
my passion.
