    The first year warranty is provided by manufacturer ---Sager
    After the first year, there are several extended warranty providers for sager notebooks...
    1. Philips
    2. Warrantech

    The issue of Sager notebooks having a problem on returned laptop centers on the warranty provider

    Reading the forums there are mixed stories of bad handling and good handling of laptop warranty issues.


    Is it possible to enhance the first year warranty coverage (like including the shipping charge for returned laptops)?:base:
    (coz buyers pay for the shipping for returns or repair of sager laptop AFTER 10 days from shipping date)

    Are there warranty providers beside the two?

    Some dealers, such as DiscountLaptops.com, offer their own extended warranty, because they are not satisfied with Phillip Magnavox's service - from what I have heard, they have subpar service.

    Would be nice If Powernotebooks would have onsite warranty like PCTorque.

    Currently powernotebooks and discountlaptops ONLY offer extended philips warranty (not onsite)

    Discountllaptops have repair transit coverage .

    PowerNotebooks and discountlaptops would surely dominate the market if they offer both the repair transit coverage and onsite warranty especially since they offer their arctic silver compound standard.
    (I understand putting the arctic silver yourself will void warranty)

    Actually, DiscountLaptops offers their own extended warranty - not Phillips-Magnavox. PowerNotebooks does offer an onsite warranty of their own computers (Built-on Asus, etc.), but just not on the Sagers.

    Some of PowerNotebooks' computers come standard with Artic Silver 5. ;)

    Cheers,
