It's been some time (10 years or so) since I've last bought a prepackaged computer (I build my desktops from parts) but do you really have to register your personal information with the manufacturer when you buy a prebuilt computer? Why would there be a need to do that anyway, wouldn't the serial number of the machine be enough for warranty purposes?

- ferongr 11y agoThanks for pointing that out. Here in Greece (and most of Europe AFAIK) manufacturers don't sell directly to consumers, hence my confusion.
