Ordered a Thinkpad T420 yesterday. I checked the status of it and it says estimated ship date May 26th! What the heck why so long?

bump is this a common amount of time for one to wait for a laptop from lenovo?
-
They always put such long wait times. Expect it to ship in 1-1.5 weeks

A Lenovo rep told me it may take 2 weeks just to build my T420 let alone ship. In the end even with the holidays I got mine in just 11 days from order to my doorstep (probably would've been 9 on normal days), so all hope is not lost. Lenovo generally give you quite a long ship date but its not unusual to see orders sent out before their estimated ship date.

I noticed this myself as well! I had a feeling that it wouldnt take that long. Talk about super conservative delivery time.
-
Lenovo always puts down 3 weeks for estimated shipping date for a CTO order, but they tend to ship it out in 1.5 weeks
-
I ordered an E420 on 4/23 and received notice that it shipped today 5/4 -- 11 calendar days after ordering. So the '1.5 weeks' seems to be right on!

Ah ok. Another question.
I have noticed that Lenovo seems to use a variety of parts in their laptops and it is really a lottery as to whether or not you will get a good set of parts or not. Do all brands do this? I hope my T420 will have good parts haha. -
Tsunade_Hime such bacon. wow
Better to under-promise and over deliver than vice versa.
Also given it is a new model, that isn't completely out of the ordinary. The new XPS models are sometimes quoted 4-6 weeks for delivery..
Lenovo estimated ship date three weeks?!
