I am in the process of applying for Windows 7 Upgrade kit for the pre boxing day sale R-500 ( From here).
Upgrade handling fee is 24.26 US$. But Lenovo allows up to 5 upgrade orders per request and that reduces handling fee significantly.
Their handling fee goes down to
32.53 US$ for 2 upgrade requests (about 16 US$ + local postal charge)
40.80 US$ for 3 (about 14 US$ + local postal charge)
49.08 US$ for 4 (about 12 US$ + local postal charge)
57.35 US$ for 5 (about 11 US$ + local postal charge)
So if anyone else interested let me know. (Either I can order up to 5 and post you or otherwise).
Lenovo's last day to order this upgrade kit is February 15, 2010. Order page link to their 3rd party handler
if you posted a week earlier i would have taken up your offer. i just had it processed and it was quite quick in terms of them checking and sending it out. however, i still have yet to receive the upgrade kit. im assuming they are sending it from singapore.
