    I just looked at the customization options for the T500 and they've added a few new processors (they're a steal at only $10,000 for the upgrade). 4 gigs of ram seems to be an option even for 32 bit systems and a blu-ray drive is available. While the website obviously still has some bugs, at the very least it says that some new legitimate options should be appearing soon.

    Just $10,000? Wow, that is a good deal! With software these days, we need all the Mhz we can get!

    Lol, obviously a typo. :p

    or intentional to avoid users from buying.......that way they simply have to change the price, when the part is available

    If only their typos had such deep meaning. It's been like that for about 4 days.

    I guess I am in the same boat as dr dan because I saw the title of the thread and skimmed some of the posts, I caught your sig and thought the led was released. Then I decided to read closer :mad:

    What is going on with Lenovo? Typos are appearing almost weekly now. Makes me wonder if they miss typed some of the prices when I ordered.

    man I'm really waiting to get a good deal on this notebook. What are the chances that lenovo will put a deal out for this one with the discrete graphics in the next couple of weeks? The difference is like almost $500 from integrated to discrete while the t400 difference is like $100.
