    I wish to purchase Vaio F-CTO from US. Does it have international warranty? Do we get a DVD of Win 7 along with the laptop or it will come only as pre-installed?

    In other countries international warranty 1 year is included, in US it costs extra. Singapore (or perhaps Gulf) might be better , also faster, cheaper in case of repairs.
