Lenovo online sold out no reply from them , I did try everyone reputable so far

The first 2 were the same entity and possibly operated by Mustek back in the day. Email them and see what feedback you get back? I see that I emailed both and the same guy replied with a ComXpert signature :)

From LaptopDirect's website:
Laptop Direct C.C. is a registered business (registered with CIPC since 2005).
NOTE: Your order will be processed by ComXpert International C.C. t/a ComX, who have been in business since 2002.

Looking back on my emails I ordered from Laptop Direct in November 2010 (an ASUS N61JV Business Notebook Series). Can 't speak to support as I didn't have any issues within the warranty period.

From one of their auto-response emails back in November 2010:

Ah I see quite a long time and I’m in DBN so will have to order online ,

Not sure if I should wait or get it from any of these guys
Had the idea to use a USB-C 100w charger instead, saw someone on Reddit mention it will run fine with a lenovo port to type c and a good 100w type c charger

Only gripe cannot game on the laptop but no sweat as have the gaming PC for that

Any recommendations for a 100w PD Type-C Charger around the 1-1.5k range (Saw takealot has the McDodo range but not sure on the brand)

I've bought from Comx about 10 times since about 2005. Last purchase was about a year ago. Always had good service. They are based in Centurion and pick-ups can be done in person.

Price increases coming, just got the email :(


Micron/Crucial pricing will be increasing, most likely today and will continue to do so over the next four quarters.
These are hectic increases combined with possible stock restrictions.

Manufacturing priorities are changing as AI enablement becomes more demanding on wafer manufacturing.
As a business, we are doing our best as pricing becomes unstable and stock certainty becomes a challenge.
We’ve been through this before
