Lenovo Outlet a scam?

I was perusing the Lenovo outlet and I found this:

http://stores.channeladvisor.com/Le...ThinkPad X61 Tablet Refurbished with Free Bag

How is it possible that this X61t sold for close to 5500 dollars new? With those specs? Lenovo Outlet seems to be assigning arbitary prices....Isn't this fraud?

 

error, they probably missed typed or something. i doubt that a respected company as lenovo would pull off a scam.

 

And a smart bargain shopper ALWAYS double checks the price of a mark-down (such as the items in the Outlet) against the same product NEW. But typos do happen....but it's the consumers responsibility, ultimately, to make sure he isnt' overpaying!

 

The Lenovo outlet is very subject to data entry errors. It's usually very easy to find borked information. For instance in under a minute I just found an X61 with a TouchPad. That was never an option on the X61.

I don't call that a scam or fraud, just sloppy data entry.

To avoid disappointment when outlet shopping you should always research what you are buying.

 

if there is software that was brought with original machine, lenovo also charges for that software. but they dont mention in the site, yeah lousy data entry

 

If a customer orders a notebook with software, then returns the entire system for a refund, Lenovo is entitled to re-sell that software with the system it is installed on. Failing to list that in the details of the item isn't dishonest, incompetent and/or short-sighted, but that's really all. Listing the software would justify the elevated price over seemingly identical systems. The customer ultimately agrees to the price, so the burden is actually on the consumer.

 

Depot has very good turn around and plenty of deals. they took their time to approve my order but i received it in a day after i called and complained over the lack of response.

They should mention about the software bundle. but you can always call them up and ask for more details

 

Anyone have purchased laptop from the outlet?

After adding to cart, when i try to click on the check out button, it doesnt do anything.
just stay there.

any help?

 

Try use a different browser, sometimes it happens to Firfox.

 

I tried both using firefox and IE.

and tried using chrome.
None of them works.

 

are u going through outlet->search to find your machine. dont save links to outlet. if an item sells out, you cannot add it but u can see it on the direct link

 

Can you get the Lenovo T400 with an Intel WiMax 5350 wifi card?

I looked online and I thought it was there once in the configuration options but then the next time I looked at the options, it was gone and there was only an option for 5300!

This is on the Canadian site. I have noticed some posters asking whether the 5100 and 5300 are the only options so they are aware of Lenovo laptops being configured or being available with the 5350 wifi cards. So, what is going on?
