T61 Delayed

[NoteBookTechie]

They're normally shipped the same day they're built, or the next business day. They can't just keep them piling up on the shelves, plus the shipping label should be on the box before the computer is put into it.

Did you get your new date? is your order rebooked? When did you originally ordered?

Hopefully you didnt order on May 24th like me! Apparently I am on the "bubble." So orders placed before 5/24 are eligible for the freebies and will ship no later than 6/26 and almost certainly earlier. Since I ordered on 5/24, CS said that the "worst" news he could give me was that mine ships on 6/26. Only if it ships after 6/26 will I be eligible for the freebie. Hope this helps.

Are you fscking KIDDING ME? I'm sorry, that's bull**** -- as the email that everyone (except, of course, for me) is getting says:

As you may be aware, some Lenovo Thinkpad T60 and T61 orders placed between May 9 and May 25 have been delayed, and some customers ordering these systems have received inaccurate or conflicting communications concerning estimated ship dates.

I just emailed my rep at Lenovo, hopefully he will be able to shed some insight on this mess.

I remember popular joke about something (Not that i agree but it applies here) God created man and he slept, God created woman and since then neither god nor man slept. Similarly, Lenovo created T61 neither Lenovo or cusomers slept since then. LOL.

Seems like ever since IBM sold its PC division to Lenovo, the ThinkPad brand reputation and quality (to some degree) has been tarnished...

We should try digging the engadget post instead of the one for this forum- more people will jump on it. I'm not sure how to put it up for "digging" (lol) though, so if someone does it, count me in!

I'm wondering if I should call...I ordered on 5/20, I got the freebie email, but my order still hasn't been rebooked. Ship date still shows as 6/26. It seems like a lot of people who ordered after me have had their orders rebooked.
