    I bought a T61P with four years accidental warranty, but I'm starting to get worried since the sped of the market is moving faster than I thought... would Lenovo accept my waranty in four years even if T61 becomes dicontinued model??

    At the very least they'll have to offer a prorated buyout, but that would have to be said in the warranty (and is unlikely on a warranty bought with a new machine). More likely, if they absolutely can't fix the existing machine, or replace it with a like model, they'd replace it with a newer model.

    My mom had a Dell Pent. III 500mhz with a 3 year warranty. A month before the warranty was up he started having serious problems...after sending a new HD, power supply, and a guy to rewire the power button they requested we send the computer to them to fix it. A little later my mom got a Pent IV 2Ghz and has been using it ever since =)

    And that's Dell...from what I read Lenovo's better at stuff like that.
