Warranty

2 of 2 differ

Manufacturer warranty (source market)iThe maker's warranty period for the exact SKU or configuration and market named in the source note. It applies only to that stated market, not every regional variant. Statutory consumer rights are excluded. The base term is stored. An extension that needs registration goes in the source note.

1year1Maker product pagepsref.lenovo.com/Detail/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_E16_Gen_3_AMDRead 15 October 2026Base Warranty is 1-year courier or carry-in. The model also lists an included upgrade '1Y Premier WHB (CPN)'. Its coverage is not described on the page, so it is not added to the term.

3years1Maker product pagepsref.lenovo.com/Detail/ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_Gen_14_Aura_EditionRead 8 October 2026Exact UK SKU base warranty: three years courier or carry-in, with one-year battery. Included 3Y Premier Support WHB upgrade is not added to make six years. Retailer one-year warranty conflicts with the maker exact three-year base term. Maker configuration takes precedence.

Warranty serviceiDocumented manufacturer warranty service for the named market. Included paid service upgrades belong in the source note.

Carry-in, Collect and return1Maker product pagepsref.lenovo.com/Detail/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_E16_Gen_3_AMDRead 15 October 2026Base Warranty row says 'Courier or Carry-in'. The included Premier upgrade is not interpreted.

Collect and return, Carry-in1Maker product pagepsref.lenovo.com/Detail/ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_Gen_14_Aura_EditionRead 8 October 2026Base warranty service. Included Premier Support upgrade is named separately, without guessing its coverage from the WHB code.
