Yup. I am aware but as I said, the guy from the showroom said that even if you tried to order, there is long waiting period because it isn't available (despite what the website says). So I just wanted some independent confirmation.

Has anyone been able to buy a ThinkPad from the US outlet recently?

I think the online Lenovo SG website shows pretty competitive prices...at least for the T series....T470 looks very good in SG compared to the USA

Anyone brought device to Lenovo for servicing recently?

A standard form is given to you to sign. It says words to the effect that I confess that damages are my fault.

Did anyone proceed to simply sign the form? Why is Lenovo Singapore so desperate?

 

[singmob]

Some time ago, after opening the box straight away see flaws

 

[evildoctor]

Any feedback regarding ThinkPad service support here in Singapore?

Why want upgrade from x220, it still performs better than my hp spectre x360 which i bought last year. LOL. more chrome tabs open also wont crash.

Aging, speakers not working and fan whine

The Thinkpad13 is full HD 1080p.

pity. if you dont really need a brand new laptop, like just use at home or smth, can consider refurbished ones, think qoo10 got a few.
my x220 leave at home to use, bought new ultrabook to bring to sch.

If you're not opposed to the idea of a personal refurbishment (with the high availability of disassembly guides and manuals).

A replacement fan + thermal paste + replacement speaker should chalk up to no more than $20 with shipping inclusive on taobao (check the Lenovo CRU/FRU IDs). + Isopropyl alcohol from retail pharmacy total bill of materials should be <S$30, maybe add an inexpensive paintbrush for dusting small areas..

+ Servicing time required. But this also depends on personal proficiency with DIY-repairs.

If the machine lacks an SSD, its also a good upgrade option. They're at about 40-50cents/GB currently if you don't mind the drive cloning or reinstallation of windows.

Anybody here has experience with Lenovo Thinkpad T470? I am looking to try one but can't find a demo unit.

The specs look kinda confusing too.

Anybody care to share much more about this laptop? Especially from user POV.

Thanks!
