When you select a product (T60) to buy on the US website, it gives you 2 kinds of service options: Warranty service upgrades and Protective services.

What's the difference between these 2, and under general usage patterns is it beneficial to get both? Or would getting the Protective Services automatically mean that you can get your laptop sent in for "warranty repairs" (which seems to be covered by the 1st option)?

I'm confused about what to pick.

Thanks!

As far as I know, the protection service upgrades the warranty and protects against accidents. Where a regular warranty upgrade just covers defects covered by it for the period selected.
