When would laptop insurance be beneficial in the UK?
Laptop insurance is only beneficial when there is a high chance of having to use the insurance within a few years. The skill of laptops increase a lot every year, devaluating the older models. An insurance of 50 pounds a year for a laptop might be a good idea when it's new, but after 3 years most of the laptops are worth 50 pounds and it wouldn't be profitable to extent the laptop insurance after that. In other words, make sure that you only take an insurance for a year, and extend it after that year if you think that it's still necessary.
