Be very, very careful with your warranty start date on this. I bought a Lenovo ThinkPad last year that came with a 1-yr warranty. I had a problem with it 11 months later and needed a warranty repair. Come to find out, the warranty date began when the vendor on Woot purchased it from Lenovo, NOT when I bought it from Woot. I only had a 10-month warranty.
It took many emails and phone calls to straighten things out but Lenovo customer service eventually granted me the correct warranty expiration date. I was told by Lenovo that Woot is not an authorized seller of their products, thus the headache with trying to get this resolved. It was a major hassle. Buyer beware.
Great daily workhorse computers (my family has 5). However, I bought one of these Gen 2 with the m-5Y10 chip the last time around, and the memory in this particular model cannot be upgraded. That does not make it a bad computer, it just is something you should know before you buy this particular model. Otherwise, no complaints. Rugged (surviving two high school and one middle school students), easy to use (wife has no complaints), does all my work (with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse for extended work).
That’s actually standard with most retailers. The computer manufacturer transfers everything to the retailer. When you register the computer, everything transfers to you. Remember to register your computer if it’s new or factory reconditioned.
I bought this a while back on Woot. Love it! Beware, however, this does NOT support a stylus (like a Surface does) because it is a capacitive touch screen. There IS an 11E configuration that DOES have a stylus and therefore the digitization layer on its screen for a stylus, but this is NOT it. Otherwise, great!
