    Pretty sure you don't, but phone in and check. I think you just need lots of bubble wrap and a box provided by them through FedEx/UPS/etc.

    No, you won't need the original box.

    Mikhail, you do not have to keep the originial box for warranty to be valid. The warranty status would only be checked before they set up for repair service. But you need to pack the Book in any Industrial standard box before delivering the Notebook to FEDEX driver.
