    I was curious about the specs of my system and when I placed my product number 2901-CTO into the Lenovo support page it says its a refurb. I bought this thing new from Lenovo am I missing something?

    2910-CTO is ThinkPad T410s. New. :)


    Just curious: Why are you running Ubuntu 32-bit?

    How do you know it's new, it says refurb from 2901-CTO with no specs listed?

    This is what it gives me when I put it in:

    Product: ThinkPad T410s 2901-CTO [change]
    Operating system: All [change]

    Original description: Refurb from 2901-CTO: ThinkPad T410s Configure-To-Order system

    Ubuntu is awesome, I'll move to Fedora when I know more about Linux. I thought you were using Linux too, Kaso?

    About a week recieved monday, I've heard warranty won't be updated for about 3-weeks so warranty is not the issue. What's getting me is the product number not displaying specs and that sentence "Refurb from 2901-CTO: ThinkPad T410s Configure-To-Order system"

    I used to own a T410s before I traded with a colleague's T410. My order information says 2901CTO.

    I was curious about the fact that you're using 32-bit version. Yeah, I've been using Linux, too.

    Refurbs are shipped with new labels on the bottom that say CTR.

    I'm a little worried about using the 64-bit version I know it's better, but I really want to avoid getting into any issues. The stability of Ubuntu is already making me nervous.
