    Just tough it out.

    Call for a price match so they credit you $100. Call today because the sale ends today.

    yeah they do suck at shipping.

    I didnt get my t60p for a few days shy of 4 weeks.

    talk about bogus customer support/relations/whatever you wish to call it.

    Alrite I just called Lenovo. They didn't give me 100 dollar credit but they said they put my laptop on priority. What pisses me off the most is that my Dad ordered his IBM X series a week after I ordered my and he got his already. He ordered it though his company......

    If i don;t get my ordered shipping by this week i think i am going to go back to Vaios

    Actually, they're doing pretty well. Their Sony SZ and FZ series are growing quite popular.

    You didn't pay for it yet. You get charged when it ships. After it ships you have 21 days to call for a price match. So when you receive your laptop, go to lenovo.com, configure an order, make a price quote, call and tell them you want a price match and give them the quote you configured. Must be the same exact system.
