Yes. Depot warranty also refers to international warranty for selected models. Got to check if the model is supported in the country u intend to bring the laptop to

product already unavailable =(

Yea, it was a very good deal. Think USD799 with a 160gb, 8gb of ram + basic configuration.

Can check with those who brot their thinkpad from US website on the Issue from below:

- is there any GST issue when you brought them from overseas?
- what is the exchange rate you use for your purchase
- can you actually change the power plug to those you can use in SGP ones?

i actually wanted to buy a few set for my office, if the price is right i will definitely get them from online. appreciate your answers to my question

1) Just declare and pay GST imho
2) Err...just follow the exchange rate at the point of time you purchase and add a few cents to the exchange rate
3) Yes, definitely

Bro

How long the delivery from US to Singapore will take via vpost or comgateway etc?

about 2 weeks.

I tried amazon payment.. doesnt work as well.. zipcode not recognise

what zip code not recognized? Put the shipping address as your CGW address should work ah. By the way, Amazon will attempt to add some numbers behind the original zip code, that is normal

How you guys managed to buy from Lenovo USA? I customized a laptop but when get to the payment screen, I'm stuck. Cannot use CC and Paypal.

My address I put my comgateway address.

Hi guys, Thinkpad newbie here Does anyone know where is the cheapest to buy the Thinkpad T420s (any upcoming promos/deals? Or are those school deals cheapest as I am a student, though I don't need the included adobe softwares,etc)?

And is the model due for a refresh? Looking to buy before the end of the year

Do we need to go to service centre if we want to install an additional SSD?

Thanks for helping!!

Hi,

If you wish to get it locally, I think the polytechnics have fabulous deals.

Not sure about the refresh.

No, you can easily do it yourself. Lenovo provides you with a very comprehensive guide on how to change parts.

Thanks, finally managed to figure it out.

Anyway, just to check, on Amazon Payments Order Details, the billing address is my local address. Shipping address is my comgateway's US address. Is that correct?
