Need help clarify Asus laptop issue
-
My friend bought a Asus X42Jr laptop at Challenger store yesterday.
He told me that he recieve the product box with the laptop and accessories inside but what rather strange is that there no instruction manual or any paper information inside the box , no window 7 cd , no warrenty card
so i want to clarify a few stuff :
1. are there any manual or some paper info inside ASUS package (box)
2. is window 7 cd included when you buy a new laptop (as for ASUS)
3. My friend said warrenty have to registered online , so no warrenty card is issued , true ?
Appreciate if can get answer fast so i can settle his problem ASAP , been calling challenger but no one answer , thanks -
For Asus, you will have to create your own recovery disk using a utility imstalled on the laptop. You should be prompted to create a recovery disk. Warranty is online registration.

1. need to check with Asus to be sure. Usually there will be some form of documentation but are also usually useless documentations
2. nowadays, most laptops come with the recovery OS on a hidden partition on the harddrive itself so no more OS CDs. Look for software/button to reset to factory default to confirm.
3. what raraken said

All well said by both Raraken and Pedo.

Register online for warranty.
No CD provided - Windows 7 OOBE is installed on a separate partition.
Use the recovery hotkey if there is a need to restore factory status.
There should be some sheets of paper guiding you on your first use and also, in my case (K42Jr), documentations for the battery (Li-ion), and other random documentations which are unimportant.
