Creative Computing sells a tablet called the Protab. The $970 sale price of a Protab package includes the following:

  • A Protab computer.
  • A 6-month limited warranty. This warranty guarantees that Creative will cover any costs arising due to repairs or replacements associated with defective products for up to six months.
  • A coupon to purchase a Creative Probook eBook reader for $375, a price that is 40% off Probook's regular price of $625. It is expected that 20% of the discount coupons will be used.
  • A coupon to purchase a one-year extended warranty for $60. Customers can purchase the extended warranty for $95 at other times if they don't use the $60 coupon. Creative estimates that 30% of customers will buy an extended warranty.
