Tablets typically come with a one year manufacturer limited warranty included as standard. In the event of a fault or hardware failure with your device during that period, you would contact the manufacturer to arrange a repair or replacement. Often this involves a return of the tablet to the manufacturer or an authorised repair centre which could leave you without one for several days. If the standard level of warranty cover is not sufficient for your needs, there are a number of tablet support warranties available to upgrade or extend the default level of cover provided.
