    I'm about to order a Thinkpad T61 over the phone from Lenovo. Are they still suffering from long delays? I've heard a lot of horror stories about lost products and such and the Better Business Bureau is suggesting not to do business with them. I'm ordering through the EPP so this is the best deal I can find. Will it be a mistake to order from them? :(

    Check my sig. I was expecting a month wait and it came really fast! I even picked the DVD burner drive and 9 cell battery. :)

    there are no known issues at this time. I think they had a shortage of batteries and dvd-rw's just recently. Other than that it ships quickly

    I visited the Lenovo main site tonight for the first time in over three months and noticed a potential issue with regards to immediate availability of dvd slim ultrabay drives for the 14" models.

    Might the holiday season impact delivery times?

    Anyway, I've had no problems whatsoever; neither with my TP, nor with Lenovo as a company.
