    Is their website accurate? I went to order a Thinkpad and it's saying the delivery time for both the T400 and T500 is more than 4 weeks?

    What gives?

    Rumor is that there are screen shortages. although no one knows for sure. The T400 WXGA+ LED screen is in especially short supply.

    I'll sell you mine for a million dollars. It'll be there 5 minutes ago.

    I went back in because it seems to be on everything which made little sense until I noticed the following:


    Keyboard US English
    Selecting this option may delay your shipment 3-4 weeks.

    I guess that's why everything I looked at had a 3-4 week backlog.
