Given that a new generation of Kindles has just been announced, and that it may become available in India sometime in the future, can I expect good discounts on the current generation as retailers look to clear their existing stock?
This is the PixPag Edge, a supposedly 4500 ANSI lumens UST projector. The company gets rave reviews by soulless Indian "tech" reviewers. They speak very highly of the company. We don't really have much budget projector options in India, so people lap up this kind of shit. But how does one claim 4500 ANSI lumens???
So, yesterday I was trying to renew my warranty online when Lenovo automatically sent me a 15% discount coupon after I had spent some time on the website.
Almost immediately after I applied the coupon, I received a call from Lenovo support asking if I was looking to extend my warranty. I said yes, and the representative started explaining the warranty options. I told him that I could read those details myself online and that what I really needed was the best price possible.
He said he could offer a 15% discount. I replied that I already had a 15% coupon and asked if he could beat that offer. He said that was the maximum discount he could provide. He then added that the coupon Lenovo had automatically sent me would not work because it had been disabled by Lenovo!. Instead, he insisted that I use the link he provided.
I simply said "OK" and ended the call.
I got busy with other work and only returned in the evening to complete the renewal. Out of curiosity, I decided to see what would happen if I used the original Lenovo coupon. I completed the payment, and the warranty was successfully purchased and registered shortly afterward!
So, it was pretty clear that the sales representative was talking nonsense when he claimed the Lenovo coupon wouldn't work.
And this isn't the first time I've experienced something like this.
About a month ago, I purchased a laptop from Lenovo when a chat window suddenly popped up. The sales representative wasn't particularly helpful because I didn't really need any assistance. All I asked for was the best possible price, and they told me that the price I was already getting was the best available.
However, they then asked me to add their reference to the order page, claiming they would help if I faced any issues after placing the order, which I highly doubt. It felt like they were simply trying to claim credit for a sale without providing any real value or effort.
I have been using the ThinkPad E14 Gen 4 (without any issues) as my work/travel laptop. It came with a 3 year warranty (Onsite Support). I never had to trigger it. Now, I am planning to upgrade it by 1 year. I am contemplating between "Onsite Support" and "Premier Onsite Support" option. It mentions "Fastest - repairs done at your location, Next Business Day" for the premier option. But it's double the price and I am wondering if it is worth it. Do they really repair the "Next Business Day"? Whats the point if they delay the repair saying parts are unavailable?
Please advise!
Given my past experience with Delhivery, can I request Lenovo to change the delivery partner to something like Blue Dart or DTDC? In my area, these are easier to work with. They usually call and ask me to pick up the delivery, which I don’t mind as it’s not too far away. With Delhivery, however, I seem to be hitting a brick wall.
Has anyone got their delivery partner changed?
It has been an extremely frustrating last couple of days, where the order says it is out for delivery, but doesn't arrive. I sit at home the whole day expecting for the order to arrive, cancel all my plans and at the end, I get nothing. The listed phone number for the contact guy is always busy, so that is no help. Their support was designed to drain you mentally. You can call, chat or whatever, but you'll never get past automated replies. And all of them say the same thing. They don't explain why the package wasn't delivered, when it has been out for delivery for two consecutive days. The website gives you the option of raising a support ticket, but clicking on it takes me to the delivery status page, where I get no new information. Same story with their stupid app.
Finally, I give up and decide to pick up the package myself. But nowhere can I find where the heck do I need to pick it up from. The app has an option to self-collect, but how does one self-collect, when one doesn't know the location???
Who the heck creates work flows that work like this???
If they could not deliver the package, then why show the status as "Out for delivery"? Is the customer expected to just pause his life and wait forever?
Applied under house construction.
Applied on 6th, settled on the 27th. Got the money a day later.
I’m planning to buy the newly launched Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i Gen 11 Aura Edition (15, Intel) with a maxed-out configuration.
My primary requirement is a sleek laptop with an NVIDIA RTX 5060, mainly for features like Nvidia Broadcast—not gaming. What really makes this model stand out for me is the ForcePad and pen support, since I teach online and will actually use those features regularly.
I’m not interested in playing the waiting game, this is something I want to pick up now. The configuration I’m looking at comes to roughly ₹2.5L with 3Y ADP + 3Y Premium Care upgrades, so I’m trying to see if there are any coupons or ways to bring the price down. I’m not eligible for student discounts (and don’t have access to SheerID).
Also, just to be clear: I’m not looking for a gaming laptop. I’m aware options like Legion or ROG offer better raw performance, but they don’t fit what I want in terms of design, weight, and form factor. Unless something in that category matches this level of sleekness and offers a ForcePad + pen experience, I’d prefer to avoid those suggestions.
EDIT - Thanks to a good soul, I was able to save around 18k and also applied the Cart Threshold Saving of 2k. Saved a total of 20k, plus the usual 10k credit card cashback. I think I m pretty happy how that went!
Now I wait!!!
