    Hi,

    I'm considering buying this laptop but I'm not sure about its noise level. For internet surfing, playing music or videos is it too loud?
    Compared to a fat PS3 is it louder?
    Is it as loud as a hair dryer?

    Is the MSI warranty international, or only effective where I buy it (US, Amazon)?

    Thanks,
    Payns.

    That's a bit exaggerated. I dont think there's any laptop that would be as loud as those you mentioned :)

    ugh....search function is helpful

    for warranty it depends where you buy and it and what version you get. If you buy the european version it's warranty is good for .... you guessed it europe! the US version applies to US and Canada. And all versions have a 1 year global and 2 years pf regional

    N/M someone already corrected this misinformation. 1 year global, have used it in the UK for laptops purchased in the US.
