    Hello, a few question on the sales:

    1) On Lenovo/Microsoft Vista Express Upgrade webpage, it specifically instructs that a Vista sticker must be affixed on the notebook. Does the T60 include the sticker?
    Recent T60 buyers say they did not get an UPgrade Redemption Form so not sure about the upgrade.


    2) On the Warranty page of the Lenovo purchase page, if I do not include any warranties, what is the standard warranty period of the T60?


    Thanks for your time.

    The system must be purchased on or after Oct 26, according to this page
    http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/microsoft/vista/upgrade.html
    to qualify for the Vista upgrade... if you check the vista site, you'd find they will start accepting such redemption form from next Monday (11/20)... make sure you have asked people who have ordered their computers after that date.

    For the warranty part, I believe the standard one is 1 year (correct me if I am wrong). But you can always purchase warranties for additional years during the effective warranty period if you decide you need it for longer period of time.

    Yes, recent purchases come with the Vista sticker. And the upgrade is being handled through the internet http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/microsoft/vista/index.html

    On the warranty, it differs from model to model. Most come with 1 year standard, some come with 3 years standard (and 1 year on battery).
