I always buy this with computers. I spend a lot of money on a computer and computers can quit working. NOT the fault of Best Buy. Things happen.
Geek squad service plan isn't always something I need to use. But when I have used it the plan has saved me a lot of money on repairs. Best Buy does not manufacture their products and without this plan you need to rely on the good graces of the manufacturer's warranty service

It is very seldom I stop playing a game before finishing it. This game started out very interesting but quickly became monotonous.

This is not a photo quality printer but works exceptional for all other home printing purposes. I really like large ink tanks that give a large number of prints. Ink and toner more often than not will cost you more for you than you paid for your printer. Having 2 teenage girls in the house that like to print, this is a great savings over my previous ink jet. Cost per ounce of ink is significantly lower. Easy to hook up to my home network and print wireless

If my Nikon D610 DSLR camera that I purchased Feb of 2015 at Best Buy malfunctions, is Best Buy authorized to repair it in house?
Best Buy cannot repair DSLR Cameras in house. At the least they would send it to their service center. But most likely if you need warranty service you should go direct through Nikon

Is this computer good for producing music ? And if so how much can it handle ?
You need to look to the specifications of the software you are using for producing music. The computer is probably more than enough.

Does it crash when it can not handle a lot of programs for music production ?
Music production is typically a lot less demanding on a computer than high end games are. and this machine can handle high end games.
processing for music is going to be more dependent on RAM and process or speed. and this has more ram than your music program would most likely utilize
