lolwut? and Poll of the Weeks? which "weeks"?

warantty first.. then price

for example.. i think asus 2900xt asus costs 1500 for 3 years, while XV 2900xt is 1350 for ???? ( 1 year?)

Quality->Warranty->Price

Agree with lehteck...
No quality warranty 2 year also cannot tahan

usually things with longer warranty is higher quality....
i would go warranty

Why life time warranty always consider most expensive. If the product went eol in 2 years time, the warranty will more likely die with it, that what I understand from most of the so call lifetime warranty product. As usual both quality and warranty would be more important follow by pricing.

Quality>Price>Warranty.

Don really care bout the warranty period how long they give, Quality come 1st most important is the after sales service.

I prefer Quality > Price > warranty

my option is Quality > Factory > Price > warrenty

my option is Quality > Factory > Price > warrenty

Warranty of course, no warranty no talk.

yup..if need to add summore money, its ok i think..as long as we r happy with it(since got long warranty)..but some brand comes with reasonable price..like kingston but still with lifetime warranty..

Lifetime Warranty

ya anything just send back rma

is lifetime warranty really true? still can RMA an SDRAM after 20 years? by that time, they give my DDRX?

after sales service is more important to me most of the time........as i'm always not aroudn the corner to get things fix

But last time my belkin modem router is eol products, rosak liow then avf exchange a new model to me lol~

for me, quality first then warranty...

price? don't care much (but still take in consideration) as long it has the best quality & after sales service coz i know quality stuff doesn't come cheap...

just like buying a car, want quality --> pay the cost la, go & buy +RM100K car

if the product went OEL in 2 years time, the warranty is still applicable but the manufacturer will replace the current stuff that has the same value with your RMAed stuff, now ain't that beneficial?

let say your XFX 7950GX2 went dead, when u RMA it, first they'll try to fix it, if it's not fixable they'll gave u a different card with the same value (as stated in XFX's T&C for RMAing stuff)

what's bothering me is how do they value an EOL item? does the value depreciate over time? does they value on the price or performance?

yup, they replace it with an item that is different but with the same value

quality -> warranty -> price ex. seagate harddisk

i prefer to see the quality,dont care the price cause we always get what we paid for.

note for lifetime warranty choosers... usually there's a missing word when ppl say lifetime warranty... they forgot to put the limited... tat means the warranty only valid until the product is out of the market(stop production/EOL)... so u won get any warranty for RDRAMs no more... even if it's Kingston... and usually computer products go EOL within a year or so... other than PSU la...

I would prefer Quality to the max... which means i don even need to RMA it or the RMA cases are very very low... so far the products i bought never needed any RMA even though it's easy for me to do it... lucky me...

all the products i bought cheap2 only and vever get to RMA...
my friend do RMA his XFX 6800gt and guess what he get back?? xfx 7800gt...this mean some brand do cover lifetime warranty meh...

TRUE!!!

LIFETIME WARRANTY IS NOT FOREVER!!! it only valid as long as the product is still available (not discontinued)...

This is a personal experience...well, not really, my friend's actually...he thought he can claim lifetime warranty after 3 years but it turns out that once the product is discontinued, it's not entitled for warranty anymore. We almost wanna call the police in the shop until the boss shows us the lifetime warranty user agreement.

I forgotten another belly important one, is the service centre. They must be belly helpful and professional.

Indeed. For limited lifetime warranty, manufacturer will cover the same type of products as long as it is not EOL.

i.e PCI-E VGA with another PCI-E VGA. This is based on my experience helping a guy who bought BFG products a year ago from LYN forumer but claim warranty to BFG through my assistance.
he manage to get replacement from 7900GS to 7950GT in just 2 weeks time.

none of them..
i support quality... reduce rma issue..
price.. smart user will choose..

certainly warranty over price...
i just hate it when my gc fails just when the warranty expired..

depend
mostly 1 year for me
coz after 1 year already outdated

Since Life-time warranty is a misnomer.

Would go for warranty of at least 3 years with quality.

life time warranty i guess?
i personally dont trust much in gadget stuffs, so, life-time warranty will suit me the best, hopefully

quality and warranty are my priority ....

i don care much on price since gd thing not cheap , cheap thing not gd ....

quality first,then i'll look at the warranty!

1 year is enough...buy new one after 1 month

I basically judge it by its price. Well, they are somehow inter-related i guess..

Whether it is 1 year or 3 year or even Lifetime, it still depends on whether you need them or not of course. For me, i will most probably get those that have at least 1 year warranty and getting something that is more than that are actually additional/extra benefits.

This is because, by the end of the year, i would most probably looking into another option for upgrade (given i have the budget). Besides that, if the price of a particular product are way more than the other even though it had 2 years extra warranty, i will not take it as well. Its more like judging the price ratio against the additional benefits given..

Of course, at the end, everyone would expect the product they bought are having good quality. Who would want to get a bad quality stuff and RMA them all the time..

warrantly > quality > price

aiyo... very simple lar... how long would u use ur rig until u upgrade them...?

1. Vendor support (warranty alone is not enuf), 1 to 1 replacement, 24 hours exchange ect.
2. Warranty period (3 or more years) - covers the the time it takes me to change or upgrade the software (related to my job it is)
3. Performance.
4. Price - not really a factor. The budget is. You always get what you pay for.

I believe most people here usually look on both.

24hours...? who would do tat...? Dell...?

not all are smart buyers u know...

Yup, Dell's service is door-to-door, 24 hours.
Heh heh, not 24 hours a day but guaranteed service after 24 hours of fault-report.
Their engineer will service your equipment at the address as in the invoice.

me..direct go to price..

1 year warranty with normal price

I vote 1 Year Warranty, Normal Price
I prefer one year warranty with normal price because one of my friend he bought a 160GB WD hardisk. He uses it around six months, he found that the hardisk damaged. So he tooks the hardisk to warranty. The supplier returns the hardisk to my friend after eight months and the warranty for the hardisk only left six months.......
A WD product suppose has three years warranty but my friend only has 6+8+6 = 20months warranty.

Like some hard disks in bulk order, usually they give only 3 months warranty but price is cheaper alot. I'll go for this as well, only HARD DISKS of course.

i prefer price > quality > warranty......

I think it depends on what items also lare.

warranty would be my 1st priority

Some manufacturer lower the price but decrease the waranty coz want to minimize RMA.Well,most of us is tight on budget.For me,1 year warranty is good enough.extra is a bonus.

depends on the item.. but prefer warranty at first ...

2-5 years for me even though the price might be a little bit higher than normal price.

Well, for me, warranty claim is my main priority on buying new products.

There are no options for me to vote. I take the best price/performance (include brand reputation, reliability etc), but I don't care about the warranty. If it broke I just buy a new one, simple as that. RMA process is a pain in the a$$, always hate it

depend on the item and the price.....if the item very expensive, will consider the warranty, otherwise, just depend on the price! hehe!

Never think of it.hehehe....

Wow, so how do you buy hardware parts usually, you just buy without bother to do survey ah?

i vote for 2-5 Years Warranty, Upper Normal Price (ex. Linksys,acbel,sandisk

but this is good too

Lifetime Warranty, Higher Price. (ex. Belkin, Kingston,

i think most customer is ok spending extra as long the quality is good

For me, Quality comes first and then the price.. lastly is the warranty..

Of coz Price > Quality > warrenty .. First seeking the price suit with budget, next suvway and compare quality with the same price, finally warrenty. I believe its the way for smart buyer

for me i will plan budget 1st(i usually will pool out around RM2-3k every 1-2 years to upgrade my rig)... then i will survey all prices in hardwarezone cuz those r the only things available in malaysia or maybe the bulk and garage sales section... then find reviews online to get comments... then go see the real thing and decide whether to take or not...

of coz is 1 year warranty + normal price lo, not expensive and not cheap, quality still there

First is quality, then the price. Warranty is important but because mostly my pc only last 1-2 years which is usually covered bymost company, it is the least.

but for me...i prefer the lifetime warranty...in fact, not so much diff in the price...

hope to get oem processor , cheaper 30% compare to retail will do !

i go for lifetime warranty normally. but for small and cheaper items, i go for 1-3 years warranty.

Brand -> Price
I won't care of the warranty

after less than 1 year when the product stop production then no warranty d u know...?
better read the lifetime warranty terms properly 1st...

I prefer 2-5 years warranty.

Yeah, for me 1-2 years warranty is enough. More important, the good i buy must be value for money.

lifetime lor

i was expecting to 1~2 years

i dun care the warranty
1-3 month is good enough for me
oem stuff sure the best choice for me though

Warranty of course,then the price also got to be reasonable..

if life warrnty but usng for 1year.. x gune gak

well.. lifetime warranty means manufacturer will give the warranty as long as they are still rolling out the product..

lets say GF.. the manufacturer will cut off their production around 2 to 4 years time.
So there is pointless to get a lifetime warranty vs the price..

I will go for quality > price > warranty

girlfriends also have warranty mah? or do you mean GC for graphic cards?

Some i do agree, i.e. : quality, pricing. Warranty shud depend of hardware such as RAM, u'll obviously will hv those lifetime 1 right? Smaller items such as mouse/keyboard, even bigger companies ony provide 2-5yrs waranty. It's all depending on u guys understanding/experience for the product and company. Juz research. My 2 cents.
Peace guys.

expensive part 2 year waranty is enough.....the quality come first not the brand

2-5years would be great coz thats the time that things to stop working/giving problem.

i prefer to give more for longer warranty and better service. some shop selling their stuff in a very cheap price but the after sales service sux till max

i choose for 1 year warranty with normal price.. cause i think i will sell the product and buy another things..wont use the product more thn 1 year.. so 1 year warranty is enough for me.. Lifetime warranty is way tooooooo long..

price>quality>waranty

stuff also getting cheaper with time..don't mind to change if broken..

i say, screw the warranty and get the better price.

malaysia warranty, all talk cock one .... particularly graphic cards, the moment you rma, u wait for months and they leech u with a lower end model and ask you to top up with cash!

tat's y paying more for lifetime warranty is useless...

u r rite for some certain shops... but if u got deal wif it wif distri's then will be diff story...

One year warranty should be enough, lifetime warranty really bullshit. Price must be reasonable lar... if lifetime but price super high who want? I dont want, you want?

if you feel bullshit, get the 1 year warranty next time if buying something
Kinston Tecnhology Co. is offering they Value Ram for LifeTime warranty and the price is very resonable, acceptable, very cheap. I can't find any ifetime warranty with a super high price tag, Unless Inssurance

Wait until few years your RAM faulty & you go claim warranty from Kingston then you will know what lifetime bullshit they will give you. If you havent encounter that before dont be so sure on what you have just said, I kena already and it piss me off.

Price & Quality ---> Warranty

I care for both warranty and price.I will see price 1st den only warranty.

eh... y not u help me claim warranty for my SD RAMs and see wat bullshit they give u...
they gave me "EOL products are no longer covered"...

So far i know Belkin products are really lifetime warranty and will replace wif replacement model if ur model already EOL...
BFG for GC also but only available in US... outside US is 10years warranty only... but then if u got a BFG 7900GTX now u can claim a BFG 8800GT now... tat's a worthy warranty... indeeeed...

i'm considering both, after that quality is my concern.

care about price la. warranty, as long as 1 - 2 years cukup la. i don't use GC more than 2 years anyway. hehe. just sell it off like 3 - 6 months before warranty ends.

Lifetime warranties on computers products are almost useless. After 2 yrs obsolete. New tech will be made.

i rather have normal price for 1 year warranty. Will get bored quickly with current hardware

RAMS almost every brand provide lifetime warranty . Still talk bout value RAMs?? Now is the chance to grab high performance rams, even average some ppl oso afford buy it.

Lifetime warranty are just a gimmick, you think you'll be using it for lifetime ? LOL

It depends on the stock/model availability. After few years, the old product/model will phrased out, that time you go and claim, you'll will be singing different tune

Hmm, i usually use most of hardwares for 1 year then change it so 1 year is for me

ram is the best . lifetime warrant. maybe ram is indestructable.

4 me .. it depends.. if the item will be obsolete very fast.. and cheap no need for long warranty .. 1 year is more than enuff ... eg mem

if something big / prone to faulty / as well as carry high price tag ... 5 years warranty is perfect ... like lcd / hdd
