Usually, buyers pay by credit card , warranty period is extended to 2 years by some credit card companies.
Check this point.

The SMPS power supply usually Input 100V~A.C to 240 ~A.C
output 19.5 =D.C 3 Amps.
Ask your brother to check.

3.
If the OS Usually windows 7 OEM copy, ( No CD)
ensure crash disk is given etc.
I am using laptop purchased in U.S only.SONY Vaio with windows 7 Pro.
Earlier I had Dell Inspiron 8000. also from U.S ( display problem)

Even earlier :Sony Vaio Fx 215 from U.S. replaced hard disk OS etc. Standby with XP pro sp3.

essbebe, thanks for the sharing. A new knowledge from you. I dare not buy technology gadget from US because I am sure there is some locking/restriction. The power plug is also another convern as I have to buy a convertor.

In U.S some models are available at very low price, (due to introduction of new models ) and high discounts during Thanksgiving /Labour Day/Stock Clearance etc etc, and many take advantage of this.

The subject is LAPTOP computers and no question of locking!
Anyway most are "Made In China "
Power plug Adaptor/s are not a big issue..


110V and 220 V A.C. Most electronic equipments are dual mode type.with smps power supply the input range is 100 V to 240V A.C ~
( My SONY VAIO 19.5 D.C power supply Made in China !)
Also the Laptop itself Made in China :
Bought in U.S , being used in India !

When you buying new laptop that time you check the all the functionality and other features to another laptop.checks the price different.laptop screen size and clarity also check.

I would suggest to compare the actual cost in India and US if you are getting like 10-15k discount definitely buy from US but if it's only 4-5k buy it from India itself. warranty is not an issue some companies have world wide warranty policy so you can cross check this first.
