Is there any time frame to register the extra one year warranty from lenovo? How do i register for the warranty?  smile.gif

Any local y480 will get 2 years warranty. Unless stated from shop. If u got only 1 year warranty, that means ur item is not from local.
Check warranty status on 1st page.. Ignore the laptop box information mate.

Also,i read in china forum that y480 doesnt really need a cooler as the cooling system is quite good..

And u2-u3 have a 20 bucks difference...want to save up if really dont need it...

34cm width on the u2 and 42 cm width on the u3...huge difference...:sweats:
