An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) for laptop computers is a service agreement between the laptop owner (or a company) and a service provider to offer maintenance, repair, and support for a defined period (typically one year). AMCs ensure regular upkeep and smooth operation of laptops, minimizing downtime and extending the equipment’s life.
