Lenovo are great laptops. This specific model is a lower end one. If you would be buying a dell in the $350-$400 range you would probably get the Dell Inspiron 15 which is also the lower end one.
Dell vrs Lenovo?? Some people like dell better some like lenovo

Any disadvantage with buying it from NewEgg as opposed to Dell?

You might save on sales tax with NewEgg

But regarding the warranty, should be the same - as it goes by the service tag #

Just something interesting - I have purchase laptops from Bestbuy in the past, and when i checked up the service tag for the 1 year warranty it came up on Dell's site about 15 months remaining.
So probably buying not from dell u'll get a longer warranty - but prob only if this item wasnt sitting on the store shelf for awhile

Was buying it for someone and couldn't get in touch with them soon enough.

Next time I'll shoot first, ask later.

I know this is more ideal for cheaper systems (<$475 incl. taxes/shipping), but technically $475 for $400 is a discount of ~1% more.

$400 for $475 is 2% better than $300 for $350

And I agree - that seems like the people here wanna spend rock bottom, (even if it means to get a computer worth way less) and by using the $400 and $75 prob will have left over $ on gift cards....
