Something you should know, mainly if you come from a eastern country: in France services pay a lot: for example, I saw this year at a hypermarket's service some really big fares: if there is something wrong with your laptop and you want them to look at it, only look for the problem, is 20 euros. Fixing the problem means another money, over 30 euros. So you better have no problems with you notebook here :)
