    Ok so my sig tells you what ive already ordered, and it may come 12/27 but Im guessing early January with all their problems.

    So I just found this SUPER dela on a 9440d9u: for $530
    Highlights
    - Lenovo ThinkPad Z61t 9440
    - Core 2 Duo T7200 / 2 GHz
    - RAM : 0 MB
    - Gigabit Ethernet Bluetooth
    - fingerprint reader
    - 14.1" Widescreen TFT 1440 x 900 ( WXGA+ )
    - Open Bay
    - TopSeller

    Heres where I need help, i figured I would order this and then get 1gb of ram for i dunno $100? And a 60 or 80 gb hard drive for another $70. I dont need a dvdcrw like my other order that bad, but it would be nice. the only other thing i need is wifi, i already have an external usb one, but i would rather have an internal. Anyone know if you order it as a Separate order from lenovo? Lastly is it hard to install a hard drive in the z61t im sure theres tutorials out there. The est ship is in 3 days 12/18. Do you guys think its worth paying less money but for the hassle of ordering the parts myself. I mean I will receive it sooner than my old order, and it would be faster. Thanks!!

    Crap I think its without the battery too

    Your order falls into the "too good to be true" category, and expect it to be canceled. This similar thing was showing up when new models were added to the lineup, and the system shows the *base* price of the model without anything on it. Problem is, it doesn't include software, ram, drives, etc. The only way for that to become a valid purchase and go through is if you click on the add options, and you will notice it bumps up to around 980 like it should.

    If you get it, good job, but dont expect it to go without an email or phone call saying there was a page error and incorrect listing.

    EDIT: That 530 laptop, not your other order ;)
