    I had an experience with ASUS, I bought someone else asus laptop, it had been registered, when I tried to claim warranty, they don't do it since I'm not the orignal owner

    Because I used to upgrade my laptop every year, I will sell this one later but if I register right now, the buyer will probably lose warranty

    So I'm wondering if I must register the laptop or not to claim normal warranty

    Registering warranty only affects the acidental damage 1 year and has nothing to do with the 2 year global.

    Also, people have claimed that the warranty was transferrable. :)

    I think if you ask asus, the warranty is NOT transferrable. But if you never mention it (and go by the serial number and manufacturing date), they'll honor the warranty.

    Well, they asked what your name is
    They told me my name isn't the original owner's name, didn't offer warranty

    Guess it depends to whom you speak.
