Lenovo extends its Premium Care Service for its customers as good gesture during the ongoing pandemic

Lenovo adds 1 year to its popular 2-year Premium Care warranty for select devices in its consumer lineup from July 1 onwards to provide better support to its loyal customers during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Premium Care Service

“At Lenovo, we are committed to putting our customers first, and this entails not only providing game-changing products but also extending them flexible and affordable technical support and solutions. The pandemic has disrupted day-to-day operations and pushed everyone to set up mobile working arrangements which leads to additional wear and tear to devices. Hopefully, with the added year of maintenance in our Premium Care service, our customers can spend their money on more essential goods in these trying times,” said Lenovo Philippines President and General Manager Michael Ngan.

This means that all new IdeaPad, Yoga, Legion, and IdeaCentre devices are now automatically covered for three (3) years with Premium Care’s International Coverage and Local On-site Service, while those with existing warranties may be upgraded to the same.

Premium Care provides direct and easy assistance from Lenovo technicians, fast resolution to PC troubles, and comprehensive support even outside of the user’s home country. Aside from covering the usual store and manufacturer warranty, it possesses the following customer services:

  • 24x7 access to Lenovo technicians via phone, chat, e-mail, and WhatsApp
  • Comprehensive support for hardware, peripherals, and software
  • On-site Repair on the next business day
  • ‘Getting started’ and ‘How to’ assistance
  • Annual PC Health Check
Lenovo customers are assured of a hassle- and worry-free maintenance experience even in the middle of the pandemic.

The 3-Year Premium Care service is bundled for free upon purchase of IdeaPad, Yoga, and Legion laptops and the IdeaCentre and Legion Tower gaming desktops with Intel Core i5 or i7 and AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 processors. Covered Models are as follows:

IdeaPad Slim 5
IdeaPad Gaming 3i
IdeaPad Slim 5i
Legion 5
IdeaPad Flex 5

Meanwhile, those who want to extend their existing warranty for other Lenovo devices need to go to their nearest Lenovo or Legion Concept Store or any Lenovo authorized reseller and provide the needed information - model name of the device, its serial number, and the customer’s name and email address for the registration of the new warranty.

The extension from 2-Year Premium Care to 3-Year Premium Care costs PHP 5,300. Users are allowed to extend their Premium Care warranty up until six months before the expiration of their outstanding device warranty. For those with devices currently under Lenovo’s 2-Year Carry-In Warranty can upgrade to the 3-Year Premium Care Warranty solution for PHP 9,100.
