New Computer (un)reliabilty & warranty

My problem is on a product that did not last as long as it should have. My Lenovo Yoga laptop cost more than $2000 and I didn’t mind the investment as I thought I could keep it for a few years. Well after I year the R key stopped working. It seems the keyboard is part of the case, the part costing around $800 so with labour it would cost over $1000 to fix with no guarantee that this one would work any better. My son has a Lenovo and got an extra 3 years warranty. His needed a new motherboard after a year but that was all done under the extended warranty. I’m sure a laptop is supposed to work for more than one year. The moral of the story I suppose is to pay for extra warranty. I continue to use mine with an external keyboard but it’s messy.
