In the UK the Sales of Goods Act just states the goods must work for a 'reasonable' amount of time, no exact time frames are given. And with a £1000+ computer, a reasonable amount of time in my opinion as a consumer would be at least 3 years. Though of course, you may have to go to the small claims court to fight your case with that, but I know a few people who've had repairs and replacements way outside of the manufacturer's stated 1 year warranty by mentioning this law to the retailer.
