    You did get it if it was not customized by your reseller. All Asus Ensemble notebooks have a 2 year international warranty, as well a 30 day dead pixel policy.

    All ASUS notebooks have worldwide warranty. They had a 2 year International Warranty in place, UNTIL a while back, around December 2005, where it was reduced to 1 year and took away all the bonus accessories(mouse + bag) - they didn't make the notebooks cheaper but bumped up the specs.

    That stint lasted a few months(Half a year?) where there was so much talk about how that was a bad move, so it was last December/January when ASUS converted all warranties back to 2 years and the bonus accessories. They did not bump up the prices neither.

    As for your V6j, flip it over, it should state 12 or 24 months on a white sticker.

    I think he is saying a bad word(compressed form of "oh Sh1t") and that he has a 12 month warranty which is gay.

    Here's a useful link on it: http://usa.asus.com/event/ASUS360/index.html

    Basically, it covers everything for 2 years, battery for 1 year. It's a common warranty, if anything doesn't work as its supposed to and it is not the user's fault, then ASUS will fix it or repair it.

    It's a common warranty for Asus, but it's a leader in the notebook world, where industry standard warranties are 1 year.
