    The warranty is on the laptop, not the owner.

    jaredy is correct - the warranty belongs to the system, not the person.

    You could call them and register it in case they'd need to notify you of anything like a recall.

    Try registering it on Lenovo's website. I bought my X61 used and registered it online. It seems fine. Warranty is still intact.

    Warranty follows the machine by serial #. What are you specifically concerned about?

    What...? If you have any questions just contact lenovo since you don't seem to be satisfied with us telling you that it is on the laptop.
