I have not but their prices are outrageous! You would do far better either on this forum or on eBay.

Well, yeah...but the fact of the matter is that you can buy two identical laptops for what they want for one. I doubt that you'll burn through 2 ThinkPads bought on this forum in six months...seriously.

IMO that means nothing compared to the piece of mind, assurance and quality that can be had from buying from a reputable member of this forum. There's also some good deals to be had here to. For the prices that these guys are charging their warranty service had better be, at a minimum, as good as Lenovo's.

Again just my opinion.

Like others have said, I would rather buy two T60s on eBay for $140 apiece than pay $199 plus $19.00 for a T60 with 6-month warranty from this web site. Also, this warranty requires you to ship the laptop to them out of your own pocket -- see http://usanotebook.com/warranty_page.php . Including tracking and insurance (which they require), that's about $15. Making it worse, parts are covered for only 3 months, and the 6-month warranty applies only to labor.

If a $140 laptop dies, you can still easily sell it for parts for $30. At such low prices, I wouldn't worry about warranty.
