Pyree :
Be careful with that claim. Only the more expensive model comes with that.
Yeah, I got the information as a summary from here:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/487940-asus-rma-warranty-guide.html
The only ASUS laptops/notebooks that doesn't come with the 2 year that I know of are the EEE varieties. All other ASUS laptops sold by authorized retailers ended up with 2 year warranties.
I suppose the EEE's are cheaper, as they are netbooks, is that what you mean ?
"All Asus notebooks sold worldwide carries either a 1 or 2 year standard limited hardware global warranty with the exception of the V1S/V2S and Lamborghini VX5 - these come standard with a 3 year global warranty*. Most Asus notebooks sold in the US and Canada even comes with a 1 year accidental damage warranty (ADW) which is activated upon your notebook registration which must be filled out and submitted within 60 days of purchase (do not confuse the registration as a means of extending your 1 year ADW by another year). The limited hardware warranty covers all internal hardware components as well as the AC power adapter. The primary battery is covered for only 1 year regardless of a 2 year limited hardware warranty or an extended warranty purchase. The ADW covers the same hardware mentioned in the limited hardware warranty but will also cover damages caused by unexpected power surges, fire, drops, and liquid spills. ADW and servicing is offered only in North America.
* Apparently, Asus call centers in North America are not always aware about the 3 year warranty on the V1S/V2S and Lamborghini VX5 notebooks. If you are brushed away by Asus, try calling your Asus reseller and have them contact Asus headquarters to setup an RMA on your behalf (thanks to Ken at GenTechPC for providing this information.)
For EeePCs, the standard 1 year limited hardware applies. EeePC batteries and accessories are only covered for 6 months. The limited hardware warranty is only valid at your local/regional place of purchase, ie not global, except for limited special models. No ADW is offered on EeePCs.
A Zero bright dot guaranty also applies to most Asus notebooks sold in the US and Canada. If your notebook LCD display shows even a single bright dot within 30 days of purchase, Asus will replace your notebook's screen at their cost. This screen warranty does not apply to EeePCs.
In the US, extended warranties are available for both notebooks and EeePCs. For notebooks, most resellers will offer the option to extend your standard warranty by one additional year of either North America warranty ($89 USD) or Global warranty ($119) of your choice. For EeePCs, you will need to contact Asus directly for the extended warranty option at EeePCwarranty@asus.com. Notebook extended warranties must be purchased and registered within 90 days of your notebook original purchase date while EeePC extended warranties must be purchased and registered within 30 days of your netbook purchase date.
If you plan on purchasing an Asus refurbished notebook, note that Asus only provides 3 months limited hardware warranty. This warranty length is extremely lacking when compared to the industry standard of 1 year. Although refurbished systems are generally safe to purchase, the fact that Asus offers such a limited warranty would make an Asus refurb purchase a gamble. Unless you are planning to do significant modifications that would void your manufacture warranty, the average consumer should look at purchasing a 3rd party warranty policy such as SquareTrade.
Asus notebooks sold at brick and mortar retail stores such as Best Buy and MicroCenter are subjected to a different set of warranty terms. It should be noted that Asus notebooks sold at these retail channels are not global limited hardware warranties, do not carry the accidental damage warranty, and are not eligible for the extended warranty from Asus. Any warranty extensions must be from Best Buy's in-house warranty. With that said, there have been a few cases reported on the forum where Asus notebooks purchased from Best Buy was able to and successfully be repaired at an overseas Asus service center. However, this may just be a fluke and one should not consider this as the norm. "
