I made a mistake when I bought my T60p a couple of years ago. I had decided, because of my experience with my previous two laptops, a Sony and a Dell, that I didn't expect to keep another laptop more than two years, so I only purchased a 2 year warranty with a 2 year replacement contract. Well, I love this T60p so much I don't want to give it up and wish I had gone for at least another year with both.
So today I called Lenovo (6 days prior to my warranty expiration) and extended it another year. I was told that if I added something to the order, like a laptop case or some other accessory, I can get a deal on the warranty and the accessory.
The warranty is normally $149 (and change, I think) but with a (free) laptop bag it would be $140. Getting a SATA hard drive bay adapter put the total to $164 (plus shipping). So if your thinking of upgrading the warranty, be sure to ask for any deals offered.

I didnt know about the bags and extras like that but if you upgrade your warranty during purchase (using CPP/EPP) or within 14 days you can get a really good deal
after my issue with the GPU defect, my credit card company refunded almost the full amount and I got a new t400. I upgraded my warranty a few days later and the 5 year warranty was only 185 (again only under cpp/epp).
I would have just purchase the extended warranty with VISA, but the lenovo one was too cheap to pass up at 185 for 5 years. Its also much easier to deal with lenovo (overnight shipping and almost no paperwork)
the best time to buy is within 14 days of purchase in my case. -
nice good to know. my warranty ends in a couple of months. i'll give them a call.

hmm thats really decent. T6x models seems to be a great success for lenovo. for 140, its really worth it. a new screen can cost like $300 retail. ill have this in mind if my T60 dont sell.

These deals are probably a result in the way the economy is, or maybe not.
Got a deal in upgrading my warranty
