Whether it's in your favorite café on the corner, on the train to see friends or at home, laptops have become a daily accompaniment and are used everywhere. This means that the devices are also exposed to the risks of day-to-day life: suddenly you accidentally spill your ice-cold cola over the whole keyboard or you end up with a broken display if you drop your laptop.
Replacing the keyboard or having the display repaired often costs several hundred francs. It's even worse if someone steals your laptop. You're just sitting on the train on the way to see friends. The long journey has made you tired, so you inadvertently nod off for a few minutes. When you open your eyes again, you notice immediately that your rucksack, including your Notebook, is gone. You have no other choice than to get a new one.
In this and other cases, it's important to have your laptop insured. Laptop insurance as a "Smartphones, tablets and consumer electronics" add-on module in your household contents insurance protects you against the high cost of repairs, buying a replacement or even theft. Anyone traveling with a laptop in Switzerland but also other parts of the world enjoys worldwide insurance protection with AXA.
