Is it a 3 years worldwide warranty or USA only?I'd like to change the keyboard to the italian layout, where should I get it considering I'm living in Europe right now?

Its because the original price of the ThinkPad 8 was $449. Lenovo lowered the price. But don't expect it to be available anytime soon. They are having so many delays its not even funny. I ordered one when it was released back in January and I just canceled mine and it was about to be two months since i ordered it and still had around a month more to go to wait. This was not a preorder but an actual order.

I would bet there's something in the warranty policy that says modifications will void the warranty. That said, it's really up to Lenovo's warranty service affiliates' reps as to how strict they'd be. Also, in the 15 years or so that I've been using Lenovo laptops, I've only encountered 2 hardware failures -- in one case, the battery died after several years of use. In the other, the power cord connection for the AC adapter loosened to the point where it wouldn't work. All the other parts kept chugging along until I had to upgrade to accomodate more resource-intense operating systems and applications.

If there is a warranty, it will only be from the seller. Limited at best. This model is 3-4 years old, so Dell will not warranty it. Good model. I've had a ton of good success with it. I would thoroughly test it out if you buy it. So you know if there are any problems before the return policy expires. Needs more RAM too. Minimum of 4GB. Pretty sure max is 8GB. Slap in an SSD hard drive and she will handle most users needs.

The one I purchased was factory refurbished so it did come with a Lenovo warranty. But I have returned the unit because I purchased it as a gift and the person wanted a laptop with a bigger screen!

Doesn't really matter, this Sony is a piece of crap, mine died twice (screen replaced, then motherboard a few months later) in ten months, then Sony refused to extend the warranty which I requested since there was only two months (of 1 yr) left. The laptop died again before it was 18 (previous typo 10) months old so I was screwed, now ewaste, I am a former Sony customer, will not buy any of their products.

This is strange Amazon has simply forwarded your question to an other new resent purchaser of this product. I happen to know that the product is covered by the warranty for up to a year during that time you can decide to purchase an extended warranty. Having said this you must be careful any dents dings or sometimes even scratches on the Air and the warrany becomes void. I've chosen to buy a protective covering for my computer (much cheaper) not the extended warranty. The product is well built so if you take care of it it will take care of you. Paying for any repair may be the way to go. I did this with my teenage kids who were quite rough with there laptops for five years so far I've spent $400/$500 in repairs and upgrades on my daughters laptop neither had protective covering which my daughter could have done with as she really used and abused her laptop. What do you know a very detailed response from a man who has the time to respond. Your luck good luck with your decision. Max :)

I do believe the warranty is one year.However, ensure you buy a laptop with the proper amount of memory you wish to get. I bought the laptop and extra memory to be added to the laptop by myself.However to access the memory slots you must remove a few screws and the back cover which renders your warranty useless.I have added a 3 years coverage as optional coverage with protection against water spills and accidental drop, I think it is worth the cost for sure.Best regardsClement

Hello, I would like to know any return policy on this laptop. Also, why would you not send a working charger, (noticed) in other questions, that the seller would replace it if its not working. Thanks

Hi Kari. I can't recall what the manufacturers warranty was. Probably 1 year. However, I would recommend looking at Squaretrade.com for warranties. They are much cheaper than stores, and they help you manage all of your warranties under one website. I love that part of it. I know people who have made claims, and apparently it was very easy. I believe I purchased this laptop for a client, and do not have it listed in my Squaretrade account.

Yes you can buy the warranty, but it has to be within 30 days after you purchased the laptop!

I too have been watching this laptop for about a month and a half now. I just purchased one from another seller. I don't think Amazon discontinued it, it's just out of stock for everyone right now. If sellers are getting them back in stock, some are jacking the price up. I also noticed that Amazon has the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA on backorder. If you can find the 1000H, buy it...they're selling like hotcakes!

Hello Sally, I'm running Win7 on the one that I received. I asked for it in the search box and since this one was going to be the travel laptop I didn't want to spend extra money on it. As far as a warranty, I can't answer that question, but being that it's a refurb laptop I really don't think that they would even offer one, but you really should reach out to the seller to be sure. Good luck with your choice, but if you are looking for a good laptop and a GREAT price go ahead and buy this one.

I never checked for the warranty. I just figured it is Toshiba and they are well respected so I assume it's at least 1 yr warranty but I could be wrong. Mine has been running flawlessly since I bought it. Very pleased with the buy.

yes but truly truly, i don't recomend you to buy this laptop, shame on the warranty because is only eleven months, right now im looking for a piece which doesn't even exist separetely in a shop, if you want to buy you have to pay the rapair fee wich is more than Us 239. so in that way i think is not good to recomend. Hope my answer helps you. take care

Laptops seem to be discontinued even more quickly than printers. We didn't buy a refurb, but our experiences with Asus support have always been great.I would strongly recommend a 3 or 4 year Square Trade warranty (4 if it is available on a refurb). We buy them as a matter of course. Good, cheap insurance, and they are a pleasure to deal with. If they are unable to repair an insured item within 5 days, they refund your purchase price.Hope this helps.But so far, out experience with this laptop has been nothing but positive.
