The keyboard keys wear off rapidly, and the speakers were very trash and were soon actually thrown away. I would not hold any breath for much warranty action. I did make contact just after I bought it but before long the phone number was not answered,. I did not need any serious warranty remedy, but the experience was interesting. I needed a quick cheap PC at the time and it was good value (165 uk pounds incl vat and dabs delivery).
