    Hmm, let's chart out the options:

    1. Website glitch.
    2. They sold out.
    3. Incorrect inventory count.
    4. Government conspiracy.

    Go ahead. Push the checkout button the next time it's there. You can do it!

    That's weird! just 2 days ago I've went through listings of dozens of refurbished X series computers.

    The outlet section is for selling returns/refurbs and one-offs. If it disappears that means it's sold. Sold out quickly because those were insane prices. Go to the normal Lenovo site to buy ( www.lenovo.com), I think now they only sell made-to-order machines direct. The X61 now comes with Penryn series CPU.

    They are back, so all the speculations were unnecessary.
