P775tm1 g / sager np9175 average life?

Okay, i own a p775tm1 g laptop with gtx 1060, and an i5 8600k with stock bios, cpu delidded and undervolted by myself using rockitt delidding tool. Everything else is at stock speeds.
Now my question, how much life span should i expect from my laptop?
I rarely do ocing on gpu or cpu,
Assumed if i dont hit or drop my laptop, dont burn it, keep it kool, how much should it live?
And now in case of motherboard failure or gpu failure, in what cases it can be repaired(obviously from a local repair shop) and in what cases i need it to be completely replaced?
Just being curios!

It'll last forever ;-)

I have still have a couple of Clevo laptops from 2008 at home which are running fine - though they're looking a little worse for wear. Build quality is better now than from back then though. Only issue I had with one of them was that the power input socket finally gave in, so it's pretty tempremental depending on how the power cable is orientated.

As long as it's kept clean (inside) then you really shouldn't have worries about the longevity of the chassis, in general they will be out of date performance wise well before they fail due to age. Something like the above mentioned power socket issue would cause a problem on the mainboard and also the plastics of the chassis - but a mainboard repair would be the solution. Clevo Service Centers can do this, or replace parts. But again, if you need a new mainboard after 8 years then the chances are that that laptop is no longer your primary machine.

 

THAT IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM!!!
I bought my clevo from usa(avadirect.com) as it was cheaper! And the only clevo reseller in india is azom.systems . Thing is they only sell 2 barebones, p775 series and p750 series, and both of them are like 900$ more costlier then usa! So in case of repairs, i need to send them to usa, along with paying customs and shipping!(around 1100$+repairs). This is the reason i am concerned about my laptops health and life so much!!!

 

If you need to send something back to the country of origin for repair, you don't need to pay customs or tax. Only when the product is sold do taxes come into it. AVA should be able to help you with this and make sure that the shipping and customs are dealt with in the correct manner. We do this all the time, as long as the process is understood by the selling/repair company then it's not a problem ;-)

 

Hello XMG,
Ahem.. Are you sure about this? Because i asked this whole thing to a customs secretory in india, he laughed(raising my rage) and said yes, i have to pay both export and import duties!!

 

It's hard to put this politely but often over there the normal process is not normally followed unless you give it a helping hand and grease the wheels...

 

Yes, absolutely positively sure. We ship worldwide and do this kind of return RMA all the time. Tax and duty are only ever applicable to something which has been sold. If it is being shipped for repair then it's already been imported into the country (in your case India) so the taxes and duty are paid at that point. What Meaker is suggesting can happen in some very extreme cases, but if you use a legitimate shipping company (DHL, UPS, FedEx etc etc) then they do the customs work themselves and will follow the correct procedure.

 

Actualy i was planning to get laptop via my friend, here is what i did, i ordered the laptop to a friend in usa, and he came down to india claiming it was his own, hence not paying any customs and he gave it to me, and if now i need to send it to repaira in usa, will i have to pay tax?
And thanx for your generosity regarding help to me @XMG

 

That changes things quite a lot. I'm not judging you, but if you purchased the laptop and then in essence avoided paying tax on the import (which btw is illegal) then there will be no references of export from the US and no references in import into India. If you want to have it repaird in the US then you'll encounter all sorts of tax issues, because as far as US customs is concerned it was never exported from the US in the first place. Then when it comes back into India, they'll probably charge you tax because there will be no correct paperwork from the US side.

I was assuming that AVA shipped it directly to you from the US to India - in which case there would be no tax issues if you needed to return it for repair.

 

That is exactly the problem!
On a 2400$ laptop the tax is approx 900$, it is obvious i did all this to get some money saved, cant we call it as a gift from my friend to me(rather then calling it illegal to customs?)

 

Gifting usually has limits to avoid tax which are fairly low otherwise tax is required to be paid on a gift.

 

Thanks for help! @Meaker@Sager and @XMG .

 

The only way round this would be to ship it to your friend and let him chase any repair work on your behalf. In a way making it look like he's the owner and not you. I'm not recommending this as it's probably fraud but it seems the only way to keep your warranty in tact.

 

Shipping it out the country into another would incur tax though.

 

How when the item has no value? You could use a temporay import on the item then tax would be avoided.

 

While technically yes it would again be illegally avoiding import tax I would argue it has a value going out and a greater one coming back.

 

I thinķ we should leave at "a very bad idea to save a few dollar's"

 

There are some countries where importing is just not worth it at the end of the day or has to be factored into prices so support can at least be arranged.

 

Yep, my country is one of it!
