You also have a lot of choice with the configuration. If anyone has found another such place I would like to hear about it.I was looking at Lonovo's own web site (http://www.lenovo.com/uk/en/) last night, and they allow you to change the configuration (with an indication of how much the new config costs). You have to drill down to the actual laptop spec, and then click on the 'select' button. After that you can change the CPU, disk(s), memory etc. It was quite easy to run up an expensive laptop but very high spec :-) Downside is that it does come with Windows 8, and I have no idea about their own support.
Generally I found Lenovo support to be reasonably good, probably on par with my experiences of Dell support. Only had one bad experience (with an X201), generally they were okay and would be happy to send a part on it's own or with an engineer. To be fair though the company I was working for was leasing machines from Lenovo on a global scale (was a big global aluminium company who probably spent a good few million with them, so I can't comment on what their support is like to a small business or consumer, I'd hope it would be just as good service).
