    1. Is there any big difference between Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1GHz Processor and Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 2.4GHz Processor? Is it worth it to spend money on the latter?

    2. What is limited warranty?

    1. No, just get the T8100.

    2. I believe that is just a legal term to imply that the warranty is limited to what is specified in the fine print (i.e., it doesn't cover accidental damage)

    The difference between the T8100 and the T8300 is negligible, you'll never notice it. IMO it does not justify the extra cost, but some people like the extra 0.3 GHz. In the end, if you want it then get it, but if you're trying to keep the budget low then you don't need to worry about it.

    I'm not really sure about the limited warranty. I think it relates only to defective hardware and problems due to bad assembly. For this one it's best if you give lenovo a call and ask them directly.
