    So do you guys (MilestonePC) just send all the parts and the customer puts it together? Do you have any warranties that go with? Thanks

    We assemble and test before shipping, you will get std manufacturer warranty, you can deal with manufacturers by yourself or through us, your option.

    It will depend on what your dealer offers.

    The user does not get any warranty from Compal for the HEL80, the warranty only comes from the dealer from whom you purchase it. So as you look at the different brands under which the Compal HEL80 is sold, be sure to check not only their warranty but their return policy.
