    Dell has made an announcement that they will extend warranties for notebook users with affected nVidia GPUs by 12 months. Anyone think that Lenovo will follow suit?

    I saw that it said Vostro 1510 is covered but what about the Vostro 1500? Mine has the 8600m GT and I think it just burned out.
