Yes you can extend your currect type of warranty but you can not upgrade the service. Although you might be able to upgrade it and extend it for a short time after ordering/receiving the unit, but I'm not totaly sure about that. When I say you can't upgrade I mean if you now have the standard 1 year mail in warranty you can't upgrade it to onsite or complete care. You have to do that when you order the notebook. But yes you can extend the warranty for 2 or 3 more years. I just did that 15 day before the warranty ran out on my i8200. So you don't need to do it right now but you have to do it before the original warranty runs out.
iv done this before you have untill your year run,s out to update your warrenty a minuite past the year your out of luck i alway,s wait till the end of the year to update mine,s about a month before it run,s out just to be on the safe side but if you do it online it,s covered as soon as they get there monye i do mine,s online to
You can upgrade your warranty within your first 30 days, for example from mail-in to onsite, and it will cost the same as it would have when you bought the notebook. I'm not sure if it's possible to upgrade to complete care, though.
It's true that you can wait until near the end of your one-year warranty to add more time on to your warranty, but be aware that it will cost more than if you add the time during your first 30 days. I'd add the time to your warranty now. Since you can transfer the warranty if you sell your notebook, it also adds to the notebook's resale value.

Actually, what Ed said isn't completely true.
