Since it's a barebone it wont have a cpu, hard disk, RAM, wireless card. You"ll need to buy & install those yourself. Other than these there are no other differences between the barebone and the retail version.

 

but is there a guarantee.........................._?


thanks miner

 

if you buy a barebone you don't get warranty except for msi warranty; however, if you buy from a reseller you get the reseller's warranty and also msi warranty.. Which seems a lot better.

 

As orijin stated you only will get thebarebone warranty from MSI. For the other components(Hdd, memory, cpu) you'll have to make use of the respective manufacturers warranty. In some ways this turns out to be good since if you buy retail cpu's generally come with 3yr warranties and HDD come with 3/5 year warranties.

But I doubt that you'll get a complete warranty. MSI will probably only honor the motherboard, graphics card and chassis.

 

You get the MSI warranty which is 1 year, but you can also buy a 1 year upgrade to that from an MSI reseller for $59. So 2 total years.

 

Component parts are usually:
Seagate Notebook hard Drive: 5 years
Hitachi Notebook Hard Drive: 3 to 5 years
Memory: Usually lifetime
Mini-PCI card (wireless / Bluetooth): Varies with manufacturer
CPU: 30 days to 3 Years depending.

 

nice bump, Killer - i mean wetwork. we really needed to bump a 3 month old thread to list component parts.

 

Gosh, Ima gowna go get me a Gowdzilla Notebook!! (see ebay link above, Mr Killernotebooks is back under a new alias, though he was being helpful, somewhat)
