Vista Upgrade and Warranty

[Kwak]

Hello, a few question on the sales:

1) On Lenovo/Microsoft Vista Express Upgrade webpage, it specifically instructs that a Vista sticker must be affixed on the notebook. Does the T60 include the sticker?
Recent T60 buyers say they did not get an UPgrade Redemption Form so not sure about the upgrade.


2) On the Warranty page of the Lenovo purchase page, if I do not include any warranties, what is the standard warranty period of the T60?


Thanks for your time.

I don't know the #1 but the #2 for sure is at least 1 year like the rest of the series of thinkpads!

Actually, the notebook must have a "Vista Ready" or "Vista Capable" sticker. Any Lenovo notebook with this sticker purchased from 10/26 through 3/1/07 is eligible for the Vista upgrade. If you buy a T60 with XP Pro, you get the upgrade for free. If your machine has XP Home, you buy the upgrade and get a mail in rebate for the purchase price. Don't buy XP Home anyhow.

As for the warranty, it depends on which model T60 you purchase. Some have 1 year depot, some have 3 year depot. It's easy to tell which your model will have. When you see the choices for warranty service upgrades, if there's no option to add a 2 or 3 year depot plan, then you already have it standard. I only sell channel models, not online configs, so I'm not 100% sure if they even offer a 3 year standard model online. It might be possible that they will always just include a 1 year on the online purchases.

Looking on Lenovo Canada's website, some T60s come with a one year and some with a three year warranty. http://caipsgws001.can.ibm.com/store/fa ... d+T+Series

I ordered the 2623D6U and it comes with a three year, according to the website.

According to another Lenovo website, here: http://www.pc.ibm.com/ca/microsoft/vist ... ended.html, "select" T60 machines are vista capable and and "vista premium ready". It doesn't say which ones, unfortunately. Hopefully mine is, although I don't really want Vista in any big hurry.
