    I saw that as well; highly doubt anyone will get their orders to go through at that price though.

    Nice!

    Maybe it's because I've had a higher interest in this launch than others but this seems to be one of the worse launches ever in terms of mistakes.

    - Day 1: All products available but try to configure or buy and you end up with an error page

    - Day 1,2: 128GB SSD listed as less than an 80GB HDD

    - Day 2: ThinkPad R400 for $200, marked down from $250!

    Hope they get everything corrected. You know there are always people that are going to try to order and make Lenovo honor the pricing.

    Maybe the currency is Lenovo Dollar? $1.00 LVD = $5.00 USD :p
