I see it would only have covered up to $1000.
They help you locate the laptop if it's stolen. That's worth $40 bucks a year to many people.
They do not offer $1,000 "coverage" for your loss. The $1,000 that they go on about is their service-guaranty and is only part of the "premium" contract, which cost $20/year more than the regular subscription. If you go for the premium package and have followed the letter of their installation and reporting instructions and if you've maintained your account in good-standing and if the computer was stolen and if the computer has phoned home after being stolen and if they then can't locate it or remotely delete personal files for something like 60 days after that then you might qualify for up to $1,000. More likely the best you'll do is to get the price of the product back if you bitch enough.
The service has genuinely helped people recover their laptops. The premium contract and the $1,000 service guaranty may be BS, but the service itself is not a fraud.
If you want to keep it, but not pay $40/year, you can get a 3-year contract for $90.
