Watch the "View ThinkPad L420/L520 tour" video at the bottom in the related resources section. They talk about the milspec durability testing, which should interest you. I worked with these laptops for 3 years (I was a desktop engineer), which is why I ended up with one as my own personal computer. They are great machines.

No. Our helpdesk did that and they were American.

I was responsible for selecting, configuring, distributing and maintaining our desktop computer infrastructure and the servers/software needed to maintain them.

In a nutshell, I did all of our imaging, software packaging (wise package studio) and managed the infrstructure needed to deploy it (altiris, winpe, etc). We used Lenovo exclusively for our laptops and HP for the desktops. The only time I felt a little bit weary about Lenovo is when they changed from IBM to Lenovo, but we didn't see any decline in quality. In fact, they continue to use them today.

I have little idea what you just said it was meant to be a joke as in England if you have a computer engineer it involves calling up a Indian help desk with several things being lost in translation.

Its even better if your calling BT.

I got the joke and we experience that here too, but I truly was a desktop engineer

I haven't done it in a while though. I am an Implementation Consultant for systems enhancements now.

Anyways, I really do like Lenovo!

I have an asus and love it. Took a 3' drop onto the deck and still runs like a top.

And it did come with a one year accidental damage policy, though you need to make sure and follow all the steps to enact it. When it's time for a replacement, I'll be getting another one.
