    Well it can take longer sometimes...but given how inefficient the regular CTO buying portal has been that might be moot. If you do buy a system from the outlet make sure to save all documentation that you get (online) of the configuration. Lenovo doesn't keep track of that and it is basically your responsibility to make sure that the system you receive is as stated on the website. I would not say the systems are lemons unless the previous user thrashed around the hard drive...
