    I'm going to order M1530 tomorrow but i have a problem. Someone in the united states will receive it and get it to my country (Egypt). The problem is that the international warranty doesn't cover Egypt. So if there is any problem with the laptop i can't complain.
    My question is
    Is there a high probability that the laptop will include problems like noise, grainy screen, heat or other issues? or its just a small probability?
    Can i rely on my luck?
    btw its hard to ask the one who will get me the laptop to test it before

    I think most people rely on luck to get a perfect laptop.
    If anything, maybe you can ask for replacement parts without having a tech come in and you can have those parts sent to that 'someone' who can send it to Egypt. I read on one thread about a guy who didn't trust a tech because of prior problems and they just sent him the parts.

    I would never get a laptop without a warranty. Repairs can cost a ton of money.

    He will come to Egypt with the laptop. But he comes every now and then,
    For the replacements, Will they send it without seeing the laptop (I doubt that)?
    I think i'll prepare my wallet for extra payments if sth went wrong (to buy new replacements).

    BTW, that's not legal for someone in the US to buy it and export it to you. But what you can do, if it's a family or someone close, is get the warranty and if there are any problems, you can send him the part and have him send you the new one.

    ^Why isn't it legal? (He is someone close). Can't anyone buy anything from outside and bring it to his country?
    The warranty is in the offer so i'll get it anyway
