Читать книгу Laptops For Dummies - Dan Gookin - Страница 51

I recommend keeping the box and the packing material for as long as you own the laptop. That way, if you need to ship the laptop to a repair center or return it to the dealer, you have the original box.

When the laptop dies, you can then bury it in its original box, throwing out both at the same time or using them for recycling purposes.

 Many dealers and repair centers accept laptop returns only when packed in the original boxes.

 You might actually have two boxes: the laptop box and the shipping box that the laptop box comes in. Feel free to toss out or recycle the shipping box.

 If you don't have the original box, you can order another one — but why pay for it when you can just save the original?

 No, you don't need to pack the laptop in a box when you take it on the road; slipping the laptop into a suitable bag is fine for that purpose. You need the boxes only if you plan to mail or ship the laptop.
