    Hi
    I am new here

    I am planning to buy one of the lenovo's thinkpad, my budget is still not fixed but around 1500 dollars.

    I am working and living here in calgary. I visisted most of the shops here (best buys, and future shops) and
    it seems that they all dont have the lenovo (they have Dell, toshiba and HP)

    I check the website and they have lenovo.ca. Is it good buying online, I worry about technical support if ever I buy online here in calgary.

    somebody help me. I use my laptop in travelling, some gaming but not much. and websurfing. I plan to install autocad in this computer also.

    Hello, fellow Canadian. :)

    I'm from Vancouver and have purchased a few notebooks from Lenovo using Visaperks and the EPP Program. No problems. Everything is a phone call away and if you are worried about service, you can choose to have next day on site service as one of your warranty options....even in Calgary. I don't think any stores in Calgary will have any Thinkpads out on display.

    You can get a discount through Visaperks. www.visaperks.ca

    http://www.visaperks.ca/visaperks/o...h=10824&clear=y&CFID=9337212&CFTOKEN=69999456

    Once you have reached the Lenovo.ca site through Visaperks, they have some additional discount coupons located on the right hand side of the page.


    coupon 1:
    Save up to an additional 6% off ThinkPad T Series , ThinkPad X Series (excluding ThinkPad X300 models) and ThinkPad X Series Tablet notebooks and Save up to an additional 11% off ThinkPad R Series notebboks using eCoupon code CAXSHOOTOUT at checkout. This eCoupon is not combinable with any other eCoupons. Offer expires April 14th, 2008.


    coupon 2:
    Save up to an additional 5% off ThinkPad R Series notebooks CAXAPRIL01 at checkout. This eCoupon is not combinable with any other eCoupons. Offer expires April 15.

    As for service do not worry about it at all. It is most likely better far better than anything you would get from a futureshop/bestbuy. Last year I ordered a T61 when they first came out, and unfortuneatly I had several problems, so needless to say many conversations with lenovo. It never took more than a couple of minutes to talk to a rep, replacements always got to me within a week.

    Ultimately when it came to getting a refund, I left my name, and their supervisor phoned me within the next 24 hours and lined up a full refund for me. For me it was the excellent service that I got, that I am giving thinkpads another chance and just ordered another T61.

    Also ordering online you will be able to customize the system a lot more to your liking that buying in a store. Only thing is ordering from lenovo canada it seems to be taking about a month to get your computer. If you are in a rush that could be a considerable factor. Either way good luck.
