I want to buy a laptop for my dad. I'm trying to decide between the t402s and X220. I figure one way to do it is to see and get a feel of the laptops, but I've checked Futureshop.ca and Bestbuy.ca and neither store seems to carry them.
ANyone knows where I can find those laptops on display?

I've seen them at TigerDirect stores, and some other smaller computer stores, for some reason they don't seem to retail in Big Box stores.

Google 'Lenovo power cord issue' before you buy. My T400's charger developed the notorious break at the connection to the computer and has completely burned itself out in a shower of sparks. I love Lenovo's computers, but I think I'm going to switch to Asus after my experiences with this one.

Dec 14th, 2011 11:09 AM #6SInce you seem to be into Lenovo laptops, can you tell me a bit about the screen of the X220? I hear that even the enhanced one is not that great. Originally Posted by golden_m

Dec 14th, 2011 11:03 PM #7I've read from people that you want one of the higher resolutions as they are the ones that usually get the higher quality screens. Originally Posted by eednapes

If you want the better deals with the latest models there is really no other place than ordering them direct from Lenovo, those 30-40% off deals are hard to beat.
You may find the odd stores that carry them. Reply With Quote

one thing that I appreciate about Lenovo machines is the dock. even in the home, I see plenty of advantages.
my work issued T420 is nice, is about all I can tell you about Lenovo machines, that, and I've never had a problem. Reply With Quote

Dec 15th, 2011 05:18 PM #11DId you get the premium screen? Is it good? Is the resolution OK? I'm very used to the 1200x800 on my macbook, so I'm more comfortable with something similar. Originally Posted by fisher

Dec 15th, 2011 06:30 PM #12You can get the optional 1600x900 on the Lenovo Thinkpad T420....+$50. With this screen upgrade and no webcam, the price using EPP is about $800 for the basic configuration. Originally Posted by eednapes

Dec 16th, 2011 07:06 AM #13It is being used by someone attending university and we got the premium screen via the Lenovo sale. The feedback from them so far is good due mainly to its portability. The lack of the optical drive was not an issue as we purchased Office 2007 as a download and other installs could be done via USB. We did buy an external optical drive from NCIX for about $30, but it is hardly used. Originally Posted by eednapes
