    I was looking to get a GT725 from http://www.rkcomputer.net , but while communicating with them, I found out that the warranty for the laptop is not global.
    I previously asked the local importers (who don't carry this model) if they'd support a laptop bought abroad and they said they will if it's under warranty and with a purchase receipt, though.

    Is there really no way to get a global warranty for MSI laptops?
    Should I still go for it?

    Advice appreciated...

    Interesting...

    The question is whether they have two different types of warranties (different for the US?) or it's the same and if I have a receipt and a warranty card the any support center will accept it.

    Sometimes US MSI laptops get warranty extended in other countries.

    I got 1yr global when I bought in frm a local dealer.
    Anyways global warranty is nt like local warranty, somethings are chargeable in global warranty.

    I got 24 months warranty only, with the first 12months being global.

    Sad that MSI does nt offer global warranty to US customers.

    But a little talk with MSI wud do the trick, i suppose.

    Don't feel like begging them. I guess I'll go with Asus.
