    Ah! I just noticed this! Year 1 is global, but year 2/3 is domestic N.A.

    I'm moving to Asia in order to teach high schools (Late 2011-Early 2012) and if it breaks down on year 2/3 I'll get PWND!

    Anyone know how to get around this and perhaps pay a little more to get global coverage? I tried searching on store and official websites but turned out empty handed. If this is the case, I may have to buy another brand, ugh, so frustrating. Just when I thought I found 'THE' laptop, this issue arises.

    Thanks ^^

    Edit: Also, MSI says they only cover THEIR parts. What if I get an i7 upgrade (from i5) by the dealer? Will they cover the i7 if it malfunctions since it's not 'stock'?

    Hmm, and regarding the warranty, I'm getting mixed feelings. I browsed more sites and some say its 3-year global, some say it's 1 year global, 2 years domestic. Which one is it?
