Traveller? Beware Of Hp Notebooks

Are you a traveller? Are you going to stay a long time abroad? Please leave your HP notebook at home or better...if you're planning to buy one...don't do it. I'm in a great problem with this brand.
Do you know that the warranty is ONLY inside USA? Have paid for an extended warranty or not....HP is not global. Is just a fake global company.
Just cross the border and automatically your brand changes its name and you're a perfect unknown for HP. Why? Because your notebook has suppport ONLY inside USA and if something happens...for example...in Mexico, Spain, England (or everything else where YOU THOUGHT thas HP was present)...just search for a church and start praying because you're in God's hands. Better...I advice you to get your credit card and look for a new laptop with WORLDWIDE WARRANTY.
I bought a notebook by the internet and I started a month ago the process of a warranty case. Of course....first time they told me that it will be replaced free of charge but.....but.....what do you think? EXACTLY!! Must be inside USA only. Not at all....you need a USA credit card to get your replacement....for charging it if you don't ship back the defective item. So...I asked them what about if I send the defective first....to unlock this and ....of course, they told me that was imposible.
So....I realize that I left a hard drive as a gift to HP, because they don't want to send it to me also with the agreement that it needs to be replaced.
Just burocracy of a big (big?) elephant who loses customers for things like that.
Repeating the title....TRAVELLER....leave your HP at home and buy a new one with woldwide coverage. Don't be fooled by your 3 or 50 years warranty that they SOLD you.

By the way....does anybody want a HP Pavilion that "someone" is selling with a "great" warranty??

First of all, that's wrong, HP will repair any unit with extended warranty as it IS global, I have had customers ring who brought a machine in the UK and HP offered to service it in Hungary where this customer was travelling too.
If you're concerned about your HP Warranty, then take it up with HP themselves with either a phone call or a letter of complaint to their head office.

I found this on HPs website and YES it DOES cover Global warranty, maybe you should read up on it before having a rant about a manufacturer:
