This article explains the role of an OEM company and the OEM business model. OEM (pronounced as separate letters) is short for original equipment manufacturer. OEM is somewhat of a misleading term for a company that has a special relationship with computer and IT producers.
Fuzzy Notebook Evangelist. I am interested in a 3 year warranty on a high end R61 or T61 Lenovo laptop for home use, but unsure whether to get an onsite or depot warranty.
Lenovo backs the ThinkPad X1 Carbon with a standard one-year warranty that includes parts and labor. The company also sells a variety of extended warranties, upgrades to on-site service and accidental damage protection.nfortunately, Lenovo uses a proprietary power connector on the X1 Carbon that it does not use on any other ThinkPads. This means that universal AC adapters and external batteries such as the Veho Pebble cannot connect to it.
