Alternatives to consider
Warranty & service
Warranty not yet verifiedCheck
Always ask for a VAT bill — it is required for warranty claims with official service centres.
A price far below the official one may be a grey import without official Nepal warranty.
VAT bill is critical for laptops. It is the primary document for any warranty claim or service-centre visit. Never buy a laptop in Nepal without a proper VAT bill, regardless of price.
