Howard,
I find that Dell has an option called CompleteCare which covers you for
things not normally under warranty such as spills drops etc.. I've had a
couple of laptops with this covered that were literally smashed into
pieces and dell replaced all the faulty parts..
I would imagine that they'd also cover corrosion damage from salt air..
Its 79 bucks extra, but is worths it weight in gold..

I'm told that the extended warranties offered by Best Buy, etc. have
the same coverage. The cost is similar. I would recommend finding
out who does the servicing and whether that fits your needs.
