Haven't heard good things about Lenovo customer care. If you are ok with a windows/linux laptop then I recommend dell with the right coverage options. I have used dell since 2005 and I have availed their service several times and i have always had pleasant experiences except for one bad experience with a sales person. To give an idea on what happened and how they resolved, All problems were fixed at my home. - 2005 hard disk, clicking noise: hard disk replaced (2 days) - 2006 got kingston memory & dell confirmed warranty not void - 2007 video fan not working: fan was replaced (2 days) - 2009 power input pin lose: AC adapter & motherboard replaced (2 days) - 2010 one strand of hair went inside LCD screen: screen replaced - 2010 a flying scissor and desktop monitor damaged: monitor replaced - 2011 two defective graphic cards: both graphics card replaced I usually get both warranty and accidental insurance since the insurance costs only a little more over warranty, atleast for laptops. Hope this helps. -- 0 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
