What is the difference between the one on Amazon and the one on the Lenovo site? Which is better to get??

Amazon, the 1920x1080 display is by far better than the 1366x768 resolution on Lenovo. Pay attention to the model number. Make sure it is the exact one you want before placing an order.

Lenovo makes several versions of the Y510P. They do have different stock configurations, for example one may include a blu ray drive while another doesn't. You'll see this one is the 59388313 verison so when you compare to Lenovo directly make sure you are comparing the exact same versions.

The Lenovo website has a few different models. Exactly which one are you talking about? 59370007 Seems to be the closest, it has the same CPU, RAM and GPU combo. Only difference is it has a 24GB SSD hybrid and costs a little more ($1049 + tax). I don't think the 24GB SSD gives enough performance boost to justify the $100 extra.

Being a US citizen, I'm not confronted with this issue, so I cannot definitively answer this one way or another. However, I cannot think of any reason why Lenovo would have a stipulation that the warranty is void if the laptop is in another country. Lenovo is a Chinese company, and Amazon is pretty much a global company. Therefore, I would think you should be fine.

One quick note. I originally ordered the Lenovo with the touchscreen. It was a terrible product. Exchanged it for this one. I don't remember the model # off hand, but it had the same basic specs and features as this one (minus a touchscreen). LeNOgo!

you can call lenovo to find out. I do know you will save couple of hundreds dollars compare with buying at China.

Altho mine came looking like it was professionally packaged at the factory I doubt it would be covered by Lenovo since it has been modified so much. I can add tho, I have not had any issues at all. Everything is still functioning perfectly and definitely faster than the stock Lenovo made unit. I appreciate the speed boost over stock. I'm hoping they give us a 4K monitor next.

So, they are actually shipping this? Is this the UK version, since Lenovo does not seem to have released it in the US yet?

This model comes with the 48 Whr battery. Actually, all reseller models come with this battery. 62 Whr battery is available only if you place a custom-built order with Lenovo directly, and last time one of my clients did this, he reported that the build time was about 3 weeks (not to mention a much higher price and sales tax). I think the best route to approach this is to order the computer through Amazon with the 48 Whr battery and then buy the 62 Whr battery separately. Not only it will be quicker (you will have the computer right away), but also less expensive and you will have a spare battery too. Please note that the 62 Whr battery adds less than 2 hours of extra time over the 48 Whr battery. This model comes with the 48 Whr battery.

The 5400rpm Best Buy's (NP700Z5B-W01UB) model HDD was a deal breaker for me. Besides Amazon's tax savings offset the price difference, so you get all 4 additional features (7200 HDD, 8G SSD, backlit keyboard, better video) for about $100 considering shipping and the current $150-$200 price difference. However the mention of the 5400rpm drive in S03 (and I'm sure S04) models made me think again. It's gotta be some difference with S01/S02 and the drive seems to be it. Another thing that one reviewer (of the S04) confirmed is that the 8G SSD is indeed proprietary tech (built into and inseparable from the HDD) and thus unavailable as a separate drive letter. I use Linux as my primary OS, so I don't care about Windows startup or IE speed. I don't think Linux would pick up the SSD at all. Which makes me go back to the stripped down Best Buy model. I'd simply swap its slow HDD with a full-size (256G+) SSD which can be had for $300 nowadays. I can live w/o the backlit keyboard and as far as the less capable video card, it's a business notebook, not a water-cooled gaming rig anyway.

This tablet costs $275 and comes with a 1 year warranty if bought directly from Lenovo. Ive read in the comment section that Lenovo will not honor their 1 yr warranty if this tablet is bought from Amazon. If that is true, then buying from Amazon(at $250) grants you only a 30 day warranty UNLESS you buy the protection plan at $30 for a year(and like, $36 for two years?). SO, buying directly from Lenovo saves you $5 for roughly the same one year purchase protection. On the other hand, buying from Amazon and buying two years of protection is probably an even better deal than what Lenovo offers. PS: I think the standard phone assistance from Amazon for these type of items is 30 days.

I dunno, I bought from both sites and there's no F difference. Oh, I don't know if Amazon still send those with $50 VOD, but I'd recommend you to buy from Dell since the price here at Amazon is too high (if I'm not wrong there's a discount from DELL til 06/30, you cant get it for US$220 AR FS + taxes). Good luck :).

I have this computer; the Lenovo S10. I enjoy it very much. But this is not a new machine, and shouldn't be something you are waiting to receive. I would suggest that you cancel your order and order again through another supplier. It's there on newegg.com for the same price and free shipping.If you can get by with a HDD of 80 Gb, you can even save some money. If you order the model with 512 Mb of RAM, or even 1Gb, it's easily upgraded to the maximum of 2 Gb by investing an additional $20 in a 2Gb RAM stick. Installing it takes under 5 minutes.Finally, if money is not an issue, and you would like something similar with a 6-cell battery, take a look at the Samsung NC-10.

Yeah, Amazon's got this info really messed up...I can't figure out what the difference is between this model and one $40 cheaper, as apparently they're both Atoms with 2GB and 64GB storage. The price difference would make sense if one of them had more storage (or SOMETHING), but I can't figure out what the difference is.

Mark, I have no idea. The thing went belly up on me within a month and I returned it to Amazon and got an Asus. Lenovo refused to replace it because I hadn't bought it through them.

Mine came with the 90 Watt power adapter and the power cord, although the same adapter and cord that I already had with the ThinkPad notebook would have also worked with the dock. These docks are no longer being made or sold by Lenovo, so they are either leftover old stock or refurbished, and are being provided by third-party sellers. Mine came from a different seller than the one Amazon is currently showing, so I think you need to contact the listed seller and ask them the question directly (if you click on the seller's name in Amazon's listing, it will take you to the seller's page where there is a "contact seller" link).

By your question I can't tell what the 'cheaper one listed by you at this link' actually is...there is no link to it...just a link to Amazon. If you could let me know what that other one was I might be able to explain what differences there are. With that in mind...I bought this one because of the durability of this particular unit. I did some research and this one had a much lower failure rate and is supposed to last much longer than most of the others.

I would check with the seller first. You should get the actual Lenovo adapter, as it is quite slim and easy to pack.

I'm sorry but I don't have an answer for that, as I have a different model and don't want to give you a wrong answer. Perhaps you can consult the Lenovo website?
