Hey. I sent most of these questions by the contact form a few days ago, but I just discovered the email address I used seems to be having trouble receiving, so, I'm sorry to repeat myself.
I'm actually from Australia, but I'm looking at options for buying a laptop abroad since the exchange rate's so good at the moment that it works out cheaper even after adding shipping and GST unless I have to make more than about 4 warranty claims and pay the shipping each time.
Anyway, the SAGER NP5790 from Xotic is looking very attractive, but I've got a few questions first:
1) Are you able to supply the 64 bit edition of Windows XP Professional?
2) Could I get a second hard drive?
3) What exactly would the deal with warranty service be as an international customer? The site seems to say that yes I can get warranty service, but I am responsible for the shipping each way?
4) The graphics cards are listed as user upgradable. Does this mean I can install a new graphics card myself at some point in the future, and would this have any effect on my warranty?
5) Are you able to provide a suitable AC adapter and power lead (wikipedia tells me we use "Type I" sockets and the mains power is 230V at 50Hz), or would I have to acquire them here, or an adapter, or something?
Thanks!
