This article explains the role of an OEM company and the OEM business model. OEM (pronounced as separate letters) is short for original equipment manufacturer. OEM is somewhat of a misleading term for a company that has a special relationship with computer and IT producers.
Fuzzy Notebook Evangelist. I am interested in a 3 year warranty on a high end R61 or T61 Lenovo laptop for home use, but unsure whether to get an onsite or depot warranty.
Also, how do you access the boot menu on this specific laptop? See, I am interested in buying a G50-30 Lenovo lap, but the problem is that this particular machine doesn't include a DVD-ROM unit (optical drive). So If I have any problems and need to reinstall Windows, I'll need to do it from an USB unit.
