Y400 with gt750m just arrived in Bandung.
And it's priced at Rp. 10,100,000.
Equivalent to RM3180.
Fuuuhhh.

Above is a quotation for one of the more popular US Lenovo set dealer here, which is a blatant lie.

1. Some models being sold by Lenovo Malaysia has 2 years warranty, which includes the Y400/Y500 models.

2. The US set spec is cheaper by a combination of exchange rate / special discount / country pricing etc etc.

3. The online warranty check status will default to the manufacturing date first before your purchase date is updated.

For example :-

Your Y500 manufactured on the 5th May 2013. You buy on the 31st May 2013.

Your online warranty will reflect that your warranty starts from 5th May 2013 - Your set's manufacturing date.

If you buy local Lenovo set, what would happen is you or your reseller sends an official copy of the receipt to Lenovo's Asian Registration.

First, they would update the purchase date - e.g. now your warranty when you check would begin on the 31st May 2013.

Second, they would then update the 2 years warranty - e.g. now your warranty will end on 31st May 2015 instead of 31st May 2014.

4. Sure, you can buy US sets / Grey market imports or whatever, but Lenovo has every right to request additional documentation before the decide to warranty your set.

5. Among the documentation they may ask - Your US receipt or your travel documents (e.g. Mr. Lewis bought the set in hometown in Oklahoma and travels to Malaysia for work where the Laptop breaks down). If you don't have that documentation, they have every right not to warranty your set. At that point of time, they can also say, take it up with your reseller.

6. In the end, seriously ask yourself, is saving RM300 worth a RM3000 headache?

For more clarification, below are a sample email of how registration work with Lenovo Asia.

Nice question...every week got promotion in US...and currency rate change everyday...u can get better deal everyday...

Local stock comes with standard 1 year warranty....but already bundle with Lenovo warranty pack or LenovoCare extended 1 year so become 2 year warranty...this bundle package already do at distributor side...reseller still need to update their product to entitle to get 2 year warranty instead 1 year warranty...
from oversea set with 1 year warranty..just buy lenovoCare or warranty pack to extend ur warranty to 2 year or 3 year...its same thing...

nice deal over there...better spec...still cheaper from Y400 local set...

Lol,.bro I think u din get what's this post mean or u din read properly.....
It's not about the 2 years or 1 year warranty thing, it's the warranty claim compare between Lenovo local set and us set

What bundling la brader? As long as you have that MY at the serial, straight away you get that extra year.

You still hiding the fact that if you have a US set, trying to claim warranty here in Malaysia can get you into trouble.

Here, straight from Lenovo :-

ASEAN (Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam)

Customers requiring International Warranty Service in any of the ASEAN countries may be asked to provide one of the following in order to obtain IWS warranty repair service; proof of company identification (company letter, email, business card, company badge with photo ID), proof of purchase (purchase receipt, official order, delivery note, sales memo, or invoice), and/or proof of travel (passport with valid Visa to or from country where product was purchased, or other travel documents).

So, if you now just buy carepack for your US set, bring warranty claim suddenly Lenovo ask for your proof of travel. Now what? You will hantar the unit back to US for warranty service?

bro..u think i just sell this unit 1 or 2 days? i already sell this set a few year la bro..izit u know my customer got problem claim warraanty or not? sure u dunno bout that...some of them already buy from me a few time already...:-)

Then what is this thread all about? https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2647407/all

You see, I don't care you sell set from US, UK. I don't have any care about your customer. I don't care how many times they buy.

But be honest about the warranty. Be honest about the terms. Be honest about the trouble they may face in claiming the warranty. Boleh?

I think u r right, but just stop this topic la..
But in fact nowadays only Asus provide international warranty which can be use in worldwide (but just ignore about Asus service center located at LYP there)...
Dell seems also depend on different countries.....

Haha looks very nice, just like mine! But single GT750M right? Well mine is SLI

can buy extra GPU whaatttt..our Y400/Y500 very flexible coz have UltraBay~

Yea haha nice 1!. For the moment dont have much budget so single first

dell international is the best, i read somewhere said he study in international but the dell warranty can be claim without any problem , dell is the best warranty

That's sound good...
But I heard some countries need provide the original receipt as well....
But as long as it order directly from online it should be not problem... XD

Ya i know can buy.. but i heard stock for swappable graphics are currently limited and quite expensive

Oooo I see... Btw, can u tell me ur laptop's full spec? U only say about single GC and 16GB SSD

i think they just need the service number behind the laptop and u good to go

Expresscache only used 32GB of space?
What to do with the remaining?

Full spec Y500 with single 750 O.O. Not all the spec are same except for SLI GC or Single GC and SSD is optional ?

i7 3630QM
GT750M
8gb Ram
1TB Harddisk
16gb SSD
Windows 8
