    Hey guys just took delivery of my new lenova laptop today.
    Just one thing is striking me as strange.
    It has a 1 year manufacturers warranty, however the onscreen lenova suite says it expires in 324 days. Any ideas why this could be the case. Just on principal a little concerned about this. Otherwise really enjoying it so far.

    You may have received the additional 2 years due to registering it, that would be my understanding.

    324days = less then a year :P

    @OP

    They may have turned it on to test and that caused a timer to start but warrantys should start from date on your receipt.

    Could be it. Had to set the date and time, but this was on initial boot, before logging into windows. Now just want my £50 cashback. :)

    Year warranty is a crock anyway - if it goes wrong within 3 and they wont fix it go to the small claims.

    Hopefully though you'll just have many years of happy, fault free, computing.

    Maybe it's a refurb...

    In any case, the "Lenovo On Screen Suite" is of little relevance, all that counts is they of purchase, keep the receipt. Maybe register your product with Lenovo.

    And isn't there a two-year warranty mandatory according to EU legislation?

    Phone Lenovo and they will request proof of purchase. They then reg the machine from invoice the invoice date

    Just an update. Had a look on underside of laptop. It has manufactured date in the format year, month, day. At least I think that is the format. That seems to tie in with the dates using a little mental arithmetic. Will verify another day when I have more time on my hands.
