Warranty

Hi, I'm recently seen the Force 3515 and I've been seduced by it's specs. However, since I live in Argentina, I wanted to know: Will I be able to take advantage of the warranty should anything happen? Also, I've seen the barebone option on the xoticpc website.. does it include battery, thermal compound, etc?


Thanks!

 

I believe their warranty are limited to the US customers only.
But we will see what they will say about that.

Thermal compound is used during installation and battery is included, of course.

 

Also, isn't the power system over there (USA) 120 V? Here in Argentina 220V is the norm, is this adapter provided?

 

Usually those AC Adapter will take 110V & 220V with proper physical converter.

 

Even if there is no warranty, has anyone had trouble with any OEM PCs? Because, should anything happen, I don't think I'll be able to send it back for repairs...
Also, I just saw the odd disposition of keys arround the arrow keys, are there any other notebooks with similar specs without numpad?

 

My understanding is that the warranty would cover the hardware anywhere you take the system, but you'd be responsible for getting it to and from the United States for repairs. The power adapters are AC switching, which means they can take either 110 or 220 AC and knock it down to the necessary DC voltage. As long as your electrical outlets are of the two vertical slots and ground you should be fine in that respect, otherwise you'd have to get a different plug or an adapter for the three prong that comes standard.

Since notebooks all come from the same hand full of OEMs, regardless of what major company brands them afterward, it's impossible to say if you would or wouldn't have trouble. There is an expected percentage of laptops that will fail or have issues over time. You'd just have to buy one and hope, as there is no way to be sure.
