    Hello guys

    I am thinking of buying a clevo laptop from the US. I am a european citizen. The only company that offers european service is malibal but its 250 extra dollars which is quite much for 1 year. Say i dont buy any eu warranty and something happens to it will it be easy to find a reseller or something and just change parts where i live? THeoretically clevo are very user friendly and were made to be customed but is it as easy as it sounds to replace parts?

    thank you in advance
    George

    The risk that you run would be that you could invalidate your warranty by doing work yourself.

    The money that you save by buying the states would vanish with the cost of a single failure...
