Lenovo Support Profile

Friday July 10, 2009

Lenovo's support has undergone some minor changes in the last couple of months much of it probably due to the economic climate. Most notable is the removal of their online support chat system. The rest of their support site seems to remain untouched. Does this small change produce a big shift in their support services? After all, they were one of the best rated support companies in the past. Find out what Lenovo offers customers in terms of support for their products in my profile.

Included in the profile I list the various avenues that users have for support, some published ratings of the their product support, tips and advice. In addition, I have a survey for readers to post their opinion of Lenovo's support.

Sony has actually been producing a few integrated all-in-one desktops that have been capable of playing 1080p TV and Blu-ray movies. The problem is that many people probably weren't willing to spend over $3000 for their 25.5-inch RT series. Thankfully, Sony offers an option that is almost half that cost with a slightly smaller 24-inch screen. But is it really worth $1700 for a home theater based all-in-one desktop? Find out in my review of the Sony VAIO VGC-LV250 24-inch all-in-one.

Sony introduced a low cost 20-inch all-in-one desktop with the VAIO JS series systems. They were initially priced above $1000 but they offered some good performance thanks to the use of desktop rather than mobile parts. Now they have released the second generation of the VAIO JS series and it looks pretty much the same as the previous model. Is it really just the same system with a slightly lower price tag? Find out in my Sony VAIO VGC-JS230J/B 20.1-inch all-in-one PC.
