When did the T60 base warranty go to 1 year?

[SteveDC]

The Lenovo site now says the "base warranty" for the T60 is 1 year. 3 years is an extra $149 (for depot repair).

When did that happen? For years the T-series base warranty was 3 years.

Were prices lowered proportionately?

Some years ago.
Some T's are one year, some are three.
Yes. As I see it, it was to compete with Dell and like who were all at one year.

Actually, there are difference "models" some of which have one year basic warranty ("Express" I think) and others with three year warranty. For instance, I have a 170263U which comes with the basic three year warranty. It all comes out the same....

They also downgraded their "30-day return policy" to only 21 days now, to "compete with other manufacturers."

Isn't "competing" offering the BETTER service, not downgrading?

Huh.

Also, a sales rep even mentioned that Lenovo/IBM *raised* the prices on RAM to 'compete' with other vendors, as opposed to keeping their prices.

I missed the 21-day return policy. Good to know. Thank you.

Read the fine print!

Let the buyer beware!

They're competing on price. You can still get the same service, but you have the option of less service at a lesser price.
