Understanding Laptop Warranty Types: Why Manufacturer Warranty Matters
When purchasing a new laptop, the word “warranty” often comes up — but what does it really mean? What kind of warranty are you getting? And most importantly, how can you upgrade your laptop without voiding it?
In this article, we’ll break down the main types of warranties offered with laptops, explain what a manufacturer warranty covers, and help you make a confident buying decision. At Tech Point Zone, all our laptops come with a valid manufacturer’s warranty, and we even offer safe RAM and SSD upgrades that won’t void it — something most stores won’t guarantee.
Types of Laptop Warranties Explained
When you’re buying a laptop, you might come across different warranty terms. Here are the most common ones:
1. Manufacturer Warranty
A manufacturer warranty is the most trusted and standard form of protection. It’s issued by the original brand — such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, etc. — and it covers:
- Hardware failures due to factory defects
- Malfunctioning components
- Battery or screen issues (if not due to user damage)
Typically valid for 1 year, this warranty starts from the purchase or activation date and is honored at any authorized service center.
💡 Good news: All laptops sold at Tech Point Zone come with official manufacturer warranties, ensuring you’re fully covered by the brand itself.
2. Brand Warranty (Retailer-issued)
Sometimes, local sellers or online stores offer what they call a “brand warranty.” Be cautious — in many cases, this is not from the actual brand but from the reseller or importer.
It may include:
Repairs through third-party service centers
Limited part replacements
No global support
These warranties may look attractive, but they often lack the reliability and customer protection that an official manufacturer warranty offers.
3. Extended Warranty
An extended warranty is an add-on you can purchase separately — either from the manufacturer or a third-party provider — after the base warranty ends. It often covers the same issues as the original warranty and gives you peace of mind for an additional 1–2 years.
🛡 At Tech Point Zone, we can help you activate or extend warranties from select brands, depending on availability.
4. Accidental Damage Protection (ADP)
This is usually offered as a premium warranty add-on that covers:
Accidental drops
Water damage
Broken screens
It’s helpful if you’re a student, traveler, or working in a physically active environment.
Why Manufacturer Warranty Is the Best
Here’s why you should always prefer a laptop with a manufacturer’s warranty:
Genuine parts and repairs
Global support (for brands like Dell, HP, Lenovo)
Direct brand support and service tracking
Peace of mind in case of hardware failure
At Tech Point Zone, we only deal in laptops that carry valid manufacturer warranties — no gray imports or refurbished tricks. You’re getting brand-new, sealed laptops directly covered by the original manufacturer.
What Is Manufacturer Warranty and How It Voids
A manufacturer warranty, as explained, protects you against any non-user-caused issues with the laptop. But here’s something important:
👉 The warranty can be voided if you open or modify the laptop improperly.
This includes:
Upgrading components without proper tools
Breaking warranty seals
Using incompatible parts (like third-party RAM)
Damaging internal components during DIY installations
That’s why many people avoid upgrading — fearing they’ll lose their warranty. But what if you could upgrade without the risk?
