Our school district has been steadily integrating online assignments into the curriculum, and just this past year they implemented wifi access in all of our schools, along with adding policies to allow students to bring laptops and other technology devices to school for classroom use. I’m all for this initiative, but I have to admit I do worry about keeping my kids’ devices in good working condition given the extra wear and tear and daily abuse they’ll be subjected to.
Recently Staples introduced me to their new EasyTech Total Support program. After looking over the features, this program appears to be exactly the kind of protection our family needs — the plan offers total peace of mind for parents that are concerned about protecting their kids’ laptops.
Just take a look at these features, and I’m sure you’ll agree…
1-Year EasyTech Total Support Features (For New PCs):
- EasyTech Total Support — includes virus removal, in-store diagnostics, in-store installs, and choice of internet security.
- Internet Security — choose from Sophos, Kaspersky, McAfee, Norton or Total Defense.
- SquareTrade Accident Protection Plan — covers drops, spills and malfunctions with a 2-day service guarantee, offers a 1-time battery replacement.
You can add one year of this service to any new laptop for just $160, a value of $269 — and potentially much more. Did you catch that the plan covers drops, spills and malfunctions? Yeah, so that laptop that my kids spilled a bowl of cereal and milk on that’s now basically a worthless $900 brick would have been repaired, no questions asked, under this plan! That right there makes it worth it in my opinion, friends…
If you’d like to purchase a support plan for an existing PC, Staples EasyTech has a plan for you, as well.
1-Year EasyTech Total Support Features (For Existing PCs):
- EasyTech Total Support — includes virus removal, in-store diagnostics, in-store installs, and choice of internet security.
- Internet Security — choose from Sophos, Kaspersky, McAfee, Norton or Total Defense.
- SquareTrade Accident Protection Plan — covers 100% of parts and labor with a 2-day service guarantee, up to $500 in coverage.
So while existing PCs aren’t fully covered for drops, spills and malfunctions, you still get great coverage worth up to $500 to insure your PC against accidents! If your PC is free from viruses, you can purchase the plan for $150, a $190 value. There’s an additional $100 charge if virus removal is needed upfront.
If you’re interested in longer term coverage for your PC, both the new PC and existing PC Total Support plans can be extended for an additional year for just $100, definitely worth considering, especially for new PCs.
The EasyTech Total Support seems like a smart investment for parents who want to protect their laptops. I can’t wait to take our new laptop in to give EasyTech a try firsthand. I’ll be sure to share my experience soon!
