    Prices in Taiwan are not great, but they are not that bad either, considering that many (most?) ThinkPads sold in Taiwan come with 3-year warranty...

    forst thank you for your information
    yes price in Taiwan is slightly lower than in Japan..
    but i'm really amazed how could people get T series within price under 1000 USd( 32000 NT dollar).

    do you know where i can get Refurbish T series in Taiwan

    I don't think Lenovo TW sells refurbished machines. I agree that T series is relatively expensive in Taiwan, especially when compared to the US (maybe because Taiwanese seems to prefer smaller machines such as the X series).

    I imagine that you have already checked out computer shops on 八德路 and 光華商場? I suspect the only way for you to get a cheap T series machine is to buy it in the US (or your home country) and bring it to Taiwan.

    Sorry that I cannot offer any more help beyond this :eek:
