@frugalfreak said in Which Lenovo laptop would you choose, and why/why not?:
I personally would go with the one with 1 yr warranty.
I would also go with a costco card which gives you another 2 years of warranty, although not sure what the policy is for refurbished stuff.
If he is doing staples recycling, which he should be, he would have a ton of recycling rewards this month (At least $120 by my count, maybe more). If you find a good in store deal on a laptop (I did maybe 6 months ago), you can possibly using a coupon on top of the rewards and then pay with a costco card for extra warranty (although I bet the covered amount would be the amount after rewards).
Really if you buy a laptop that dies after a year and you can get the full amount of $ back, that’s your best case scenario, since then you can just keep upgrading to a new one every year for basically free.
