When you purchase this plan directly with your PC, you receive the most comprehensive coverage and the greatest value. Thanks to the HP pick-up and return service, you enjoy quick pick-up, repair, and return of your PC, including shipping. Additionally, your PC is covered around the clock by technical support and the extended services of the manufacturer, which has the most extensive knowledge in this area. Options for multiple years are available.
