    Is it better to buy from Lenovo direct or from a reseller?

    If reseller: which one do you recommend in USA?

    Thanks!

    Wow... lots of threads started by you today hehehe. As for which one, I know in Canada at least that you can get much better deals from Lenovo direct because of the constant sales and coupons you can get. I would also recommend it because of the customization available that you can not really get at a reseller. I believe it is the same in the US as well.

    take your time doing the shopping (if you don't need it urgently). buying from a reseller is subject to a (little bit) higher price. direct purchase from lenovo might save you some dollars whenever they have discounts, plus, you have the options to customize it.

    here are some good online resellers:

    comparemaster.com (has good price, no tax, free shipping)
    costcentral.com (i bought mine from this dealer)
    pcconnection.com


    good luck
