    If I have this sticker on the bottom of my laptop, would that mean I have a years warranty through the manufacturer, irrespective of were I bought the machine as long as it was new in a box when I purchased it?

    Yes, but the warranty(especially on consumer systems) is only valid in the market/region the laptop was originally intended to be sold in.

    Well if the laptop is configured and the writing on the box are in English, that would imply that it was marketed for an English speaking/region consumer would it not?

    No, the regions are geographical not language based.
