Sony is best. But be careful while buying. Don't get cheated by Chinese low quality product. Always buy it from an auth. dealer and demand for ORIGINAL WARRANTY/GURANTEE CARD. I am cheated by the same way. I have SONY CD-RW. Its chinese, its printed on it that CDR write speed=52X but it is only 40X.

I have never seen a Guarantee/ Warranty card issued by a computer dealer for any component.

In southern states,most dealers wont give u gurantee/warranty for each components.but u can have a bill which will be written either as secondsales ,but sure they give the gurantee.

No, you are mistaken. We do get guarantee/ warranty and original components and as Freebird said, the bill is enough. ( But never seen a bill shown as second hand sale)

Even I was cheated the same way. I got a Sony CDriter, the tray has no Sony written over it and it too gives only a speed of 40X. SH1t happens.

well sony drives are available in boxed pack as well oem packs , sold arapped in a plastic sheet...always go for boxed packs.....chances of getting cheated is much less here...

on the bill what they mention second sale and not second hand sale...it's like this in mumbai as well...second sale implies sale tax already paid and they have to pay only vat....

almost all the it products don't have a warranty card..infact this is the case with most of the home appliances as well..either they don't have gurantee card or it is insignificant...u get the warranty service based on bill and/or the serial number of ur product...the serial number is registered with the v company

Yes, by second sales it is meant that tax is already paid and not that the article is used.

On a second hand product no bill is given.
