guys im interested in buying TOSHIBA QOSMIO X775-3DV80.
and it only offers 1 year international warranty.
izit really i can send it to warranty anywhere in the world ?
or izit possible for me to extend the warranty ?
I am guessing you are asking for parallel import set, because im not sure if the actual model sell here by Toshiba.
It is tricky actually.. but i must tell you the risk
Thing is, the set most probably is US set. Which have international warranty, applicable IF buy in one of the many states of US. But somebody take it and sell it here, which actually turn out you wont have any warranty at all for the set because you did not buy from authorize dealer in US.
Yes you can register Toshiba online, but it doesnt mean Toshiba will service your laptop.
So you are actually buying a new laptop with zero warranty (the most you get is default manufacturing warranty, but you have to claim it in Toshiba USA). That the risk you gonna take for paying much lesser.
However there are things around it. Maybe the seller have way around the system. OR when you go to warranty in Toshiba Malaysia, PRAY they did not ask for proof of purchase (dont give them the receipt you have!) because they want to verify its bought in US and also date of purchase.
