If say you buy something abroad, will you be able to have it fixed near where you live? Does the warranty apply? How quickly do local accredited technicians fix laptops?

intenational warranty isnt cover here, but i can get it fix here, local warranty will cover 1 years but the spec is lighter than international warranty laptop and expensive too. and we do have refurbished laptop with 3 months warranty with good spec than new one.
