You can always buy a Clevo whitebook and do that, but it will cost more.

Quote from AC0014 : I agree. I hear the build quality and durability between their Thinkpad series and Ideapad is HUGE!

The difference might be huge between thinkpad and ideapad, but I would prefer Ideapad build quality to similarly priced Dell, HP or Toshiba.

Exactly. Apples to Apples.

And, if you look at the price of 3yr OnSite With Accidental Damage, it's quite minimal.

Great thing about On-Sites, is that when you start to have annoying issues that need fixed that do not totally disable the laptop, there is no need to loose access while they work on it.

so if you treat this laptop nicely, it will hold up huh?

i doubt the parts under the hood are that crappy on the ideapad..

Quote from link626 : your friend abuses computers if it looks 2 years older than it is. tell him to be more gentle. This is not military-spec.

Nope, normal usage. I might know a little better than you. Just sayin,,,

Yes, it ended yesterday. Wait a little longer, it will probably be cheaper next week.
