    Lenovo.com is currently being updated and is pretty hosed right now. But their new marketing theme is really apparent on the site. I like the brighter, cleaner look. I hope they fix the terrible navigation.

    CONSTRUCTION ZONE for sure right now. Wear a hard hat. :D

    Looks good in IE8 and Firefox, but Chrome not so much. Someone didn't do all of their cross browser testing.

    Using IE9, enabling compatibility view works fine.

    As a totally off topic mention, despite normally being a Firefox guy with Chrome sympathies, I'm really impressed with IE9.

    I noticed the price went up too, at least for the X220, but the new site looks a lot better in my opinion.

    Not if you use the coupon advertised on the front page, I think...

    Something is just totally wrong about the placement of ThinkPad on your avatar. :D

    A million times better than the old site. It also seems faster. (At least for me.)

    Just to note what someone said up above; I have no issues when using Chrome.

    I'm sure when the update started early this morning, they didn't have everything in place. Seems to be working nicely now.

    I like the new marketing look and feel. Hot rod red.

    Next think you know they'll be bolting fender flares and such to the W520 and competing with Alienware. :D

    The drop-down menus for selecting different notebook lines are a huge improvement. One of my most annoying issues was drilling down through the site to get to specific configurations.

    I wondered myself if your avatar's subject was using Skype in a rather inappropriate way. *chuckle*

    Lenovo has a new marketing campaign under the direction from David Roman (Chief Marketing Officer) and also they are moving off the IBM supported infrastructure and onto their own system, so i guess there will be some changes coming.

    And the new Lenovo.com website is one of the best i have seen out of all tier one computer manufacturer's website, it does put Dell and HP's website to shame....
