Re: desk top

Warranties have no jurisdiction over a store return policy. You the buyer should know this of all things. If everyone was allowed to return stuff outside the timeframe of the return period, then retail stores would turn into a rental outfit like Rent A Center.

Re: desk top

As Hockeycanuckjc pointed out the warranty has no bearing on the return window for you to get your money back. The warranty is only to cover the computer from manufacture defects. It is not a window for which you can return a item for money back or store credit.
----------ALWAYS check your purchased items for damage before leaving the store. If you never leave the store and check it in front of a employee it removes all doubt that you might have damaged the item.----------
