    42T6638 SBB PACK. US, 15.4"

    Here is my question. When I placed the order, I specifically requested the ThinkPad a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter. I don't see it listed any where on my system order. I do see the WIFI and Bluetooth items and wonder if that is part of the ThinkPad a/b/g Wireless? According to the Lenovo website, the ThinkPad a/b/g Wireless is part no. 41A4071.

    Am I missing something or do I need to get Lenovo on the phone and get the order corrected? It is supposed to ship next week and I just noticed this while checking my order this evening. Anything you can do to educate me would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    You can customize it without a CPU? Your list has

    "8743CTO LENOVO THINKPAD T60 8743 - NO CPU"

    Is that through a special program or can anyone customize without a CPU? It would be awesome if I could customize without a hard drive or RAM to save a little money.

    I'm not sure why that says "NO CPU". As you will note in my system list, I have a hard drive and RAM. One of the wierd things about my system list is it does not read exactly like the list of items I choose from when ordering my T60 online. For some reason, Lenovo's ordering system converts the original list of system parts to their own "tech speak". It has been confusing for me.

    Thanks - that is a relief. Now I just need to get the sucker through customs into the USA.

    Customs shouldn't be a problem, I got mine 3 days after shipping from Hong Kong to the NY/NJ area.
