Actually, Lenovo has had a fantastic reputation for hardware so far. And for the X61, they do have a warranty (plus accident protection if you want it) for up to 4 years. You probably have to go to the second page of the order customizations.
I agree that a lot of these online sellers make the order process painful and the right information is not always there, or on the right screens where you need it. Partly, I suspect that it's on purpose - they want people to just make quick decisions without researching, so they pick the "recommended" high profit selections, and throw in some of the unnecessary accessories and software that are high profit add ons which aren't even needed by most people.
But I think you pretty much see that on all the major online computer makers.
The frustration I face is that it will be quite a while before the order ships. (Right now it says 7/12, but there have been reports that those ship dates can often slip.)

It's disappointing. They only offer one battery option, and only a 1 yr warranty. I, for one, always get at least a three year warranty on my laptop. Until they offer one there is no way I would buy a laptop from them. What does it say about their hardware, if they only warranty it for a year?
