    Hello,

    I recently purchased a T530 which has now been shipped and should arrive on Thursday. However I'm starting to regret not having gone for the W530 since it would have only been ~$100 more expensive for a much more powerful machine. Lenovo reps have told me I would have to return the T530 and pay the 15% restocking fees and return shipping even if I'm planning on purchasing a more expensive machine. Does anyone here have any recommendations on how to make this happen without paying the restocking?

    That not exactly true. Just don't open the box when you receive it and call Lenovo for a UPS Returns Label Delivery. It's totally free.

    It doesn't matter if it was opened or not.

    OP: If you can't talk someone into waiving that restocking fee, I would look at selling it to someone else as these laptops just hit the market.
