Most products are made of horribly low grade materials, extremely poor quality components and ICs, etc. with poor continuity.

I had a Lenovo300 G410 which I bought in March 2008. I was initially told by the lying cheats, that it came with a 1GB RAM capacity. I found out soon after buying it that it had a mere 512 MB RAM. Very slow, non-responsive, bad hardware compatibility. Merely 15 months into its usage(just 3 months out of warranty), the motherboard has broken down, there is no power, the machine simply won’t turn on anymore. I took it to one of their authorized service centers in Kolkata, India, where they charged me a lump sum for doing nothing. After few days they rang me up and informed me that I need to replace my entire motherboard and that there was no other cure for the problem, which I was sure they could have done without. They took the money but didn’t provide any service, or chip-level inspection/servicing at all. In addition to all this they told me that only if I were to extend the warranty by shedding another Rs. 4000 odd, would they provide any service. According to them that’s what they do in general.

It is not as if this was an odd occurrence. If you care to visit any Lenovo servicing center near you, you’ll play witness to numerous such cases(and worse still).

I suggest anyone out there to stay clear of this Lenovo stuff, if they want to conserve any money and not wish see it getting washed down a gutter listlessly. It will become a liability to you if anything goes wrong. Lenovo products are as crap as Chinese electronics stuff. I repeat, you will be left with no choice but to dump the contraption in a dumping yard and curse the b l o o d y parasites for causing you financial loss and mental stress.

You can extend the warranty up to 3 years beyond the 1 year default. The author doesn’t know what he’s talking about with the warranty extension.
