If you are going overseas, it's best to get one with global warranty.

My friend had an acer, and she had it repaired for more than 5 times with acer and the problem is still not fixed.

My take is go for some brand with has very low failure rate with global warranty. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for the convenience and a piece of mind.

Ya.. Brand like Asus. they offer 2 years global warranty, can be extended for extra costs.

i would suggest on dell as it is easier to claim warranty etc. and if u are going to countries like US etc you might want to consider getting a laptop there as there are better deals around.
