Some places already sell it with the international warranty, they are not always aware of it though and where it is honored depends on the specific model (you can check on the lenovo site based on model number and serial number). Didn't try to service a model supposedly not covered in Israel to see if they still honor it though. By the way, if you are buying a thinkpad in the states and have a about 3-5 weeks advance notice, it can be a lot cheaper ordering directly from lenovo as you can customize your laptop quite a bit and cut costs on things that you don't want. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
