    Dear P1,

    I am wondering who provide service during the warranty period.
    Is it only fron P1? If I take the laptop outside US, will Sony local
    service center provide the service?

    Thanks,
    Srisri

    If you get a Sony its a Sony warranty and you can use any Authorized Sony Service Center of your choice; you can use us too if you like; since we are Sony's TSP for Silicon Valley area and most our customers enjoy working with us.

    I guess his question was also about international warranty...Sadly, No, Sony WILL NOT support a laptop outside the country of original purchase.

    Soon Sony will have a 1 year International warranty option for around $49 here in the USA. As for now you can get 3rd party warranty extensions on your new units for coverage in your area, Europe, Asia etc...onsite depot, accidental etc...

    Will it be able to use the 1 year International you've mentioned as an upgrade for an already bought notebook?
