Confirm the laptop. Then confirm the terms.
- This is an Indian reference configuration (SKU 20LCS2RB00), not a SPURGE stock record. Availability, condition, price, GST, delivery and warranty are confirmed in the SPURGE quotation.
- Confirm the supplied unit’s panel (FHD 45% gamut vs UHD), GPU (Quadro P500), both batteries and their health, keyboard layout and OS licence.
- The 16 GB reference occupies both SO-DIMM sockets; 32 GB total is the documented maximum — upgrades replace the installed modules.
- Storage is either/or: a unit with a 2.5-inch drive has no M.2 slot in use, and vice versa.
- Lenovo’s support matrix lists end of support on 6 September 2024 for this machine type — factor that into multi-year deployment plans.
- Share quantity, workload, city and required date so SPURGE can confirm supply and quote rental or purchase terms.
