Alright, Type: 2539-A12, S/N: R9-1T3RL 10/02 .for ur warranty, msg me ur machine type & serial number i check for u.
by right juzz1 should give u the 1 to 1... because our policy is no 1 to 1, if need be 1 to 1, we need to ask from LENCARE... only by approval then we can proceed. which in first u need to really check with juzz1 first... then call our technical support and from there on we have to go through the process of escalation.
and more and more machines doesnt refer to the x201. its just that lot of t42,43 & v & n series are old ald. some machines are like 4-5 yrs old the fan has died or stuff like that. dun worry i personally like the x series. i think its damn solid. compared to others, esp the x301. its just like driving a conti car and other cars, if u get wat i mean.
anyway if any guys here that sent their machines in, just pm me i'll check for ur job status asap.
lastly remember, if u decided to drop ur machine off at parkview square, call the technical support first for a case id. and our service center only supports 'Think' models & V & N series. dun bring ur netbooks or other lenovo models, those goes to MEGALINK.
cheer.s
Just got my X201.
Loving it more and more.
QM55 chipset which is the highest in the pecking order for performance chipset.
Seagate 500gb HDD 7200RPM 16mb cache. Would prefer WDC but guess since this set made in China, logical choice to get from Seagate.
My warranty still shows 3 years from default date of 15 Feb. Hope Juzz1 will update it soon for the peace of mind.
Nice if CPU is the i7 but doesn't matter as I doubt I'll utilise the full speed.
It comes with a set of recovery disc. Wonder whether it's only for windows or contains the lenovo software. Reason being that I'm wondering whether I need to make another set of recovery disc using Lenovo software in the notebook.
Dasanyuan, are u from Juzz1 or Lenovo?
See my earlier post, I called Juzz1 and they clearly said it was not their problem. Overheard the Juzz1 guy telling his colleague when I complain, "I keep telling him and he dun understand, he should look for lenovo"
Juzz1 clearly only want to make money at the point of sale and no after sale service.
So I look for Lenovo and got a case id already and also got an escaltion. What does escalation means? It means their policy is no 1 for 1 for defective goods, complain and we waste each others time and maybe Lenovo give u 1 for 1 and maybe not. And it takes a few weeks.
Maybe I just sell this Thinkpad for a discount price and I go buy a new laptop. 3 year warranty left.
Now Thinkpad = Lenovo = CHEAP CHINA BRAND and cheaper than Acer
Any good solid brand that take back their own defective goods? Brand is cheap nowaday
Appreciate good advice.
Nice, i didn't know X201 is using Seagate 7200RPM Hdd until i saw this. i got 5.9 hdd index points in windows 7...

great machine! i just saw it today on Digital Life. 2.3k+ siol... how much did u got it for? ok, if u wanna make another set of disc aka 'Create Image Recovery' u only can create once alright. after u create 1 set, that particular menu will not appear anymore. but since u have a set, then its ok. btw ur recovery disc contains ur OS + all the thinkvantage stuff. alot of customers come to me saying they cannot reformat or y no disc.
just to explain, thinkvantage stands out because U can create ur own recovery media. 2nd, to restore ur machine to factory settings, when u press ur ON button, when u see the THINKPAD logo, press ur THINKVANTAGE button and it will go to R & R. from there, the left side is ur menu in R & R. the third menu is the restore to factory settings, once u click it, there is also 3 sub options iirc. worst case scenario, dun hesitate to call technical support at 800-6011-343
Just want to know whether a non-poly customer is able to purchase the Thinkpads at the poly price from Juzz1.
Thank you
Got it from RP for $1602 incl GST. Extremely good deal.
Chipset used is QM57, not QM55.
CPU is i5 with vPro.
Just to clarify. When I creat my own recovery disc using 'create image recovery', does it do a image of all my newly installed software and settings? Or does it just create a factory default image? Tks.

Tristan21: Not possible...
dasanyuan, thanks for your help in this thread.
