    I called today, there is a 20 business day wait because they are out of 15.4" screens, that's retarded. I don't understand how a big company like this can't keep simple screens in stock or at least order them in time to re-supply their stock. I'm a little disappointed but the T61 (in sig) is the fastest Thinkpad I could have bought and I am looking so forward to it!!

    Don't believe what rep told you. I was told mine would not be shipped until the next. However, I got a shipping notice and my T61 is in Incheon, Korean as of 8:20AM today.

    That's a bunch of bs, I ordered mine on 6/14 with the 15.4 WSXGA+ and it shipped yesterday... there's no way they're out of these screens you ordered yours way before these people getting their 15.4s shipped...

    Aspekt9, great to hear that man and I appreciate your condolences. When you get your T61 let me know, I have a couple questions regarding it and first off, LMK where your Headphone and Mic. Jacks are. Thanks again and hopefully Lenovo resolves this because as you guys can tell, thats not a cheap system and I shouldn't be receiving service like this with a Thinkpad that costs over $2500.

    The headphone jack is on the left hand side of the macihne about one third of the way in (PCMCIA slot is first, then a vertical USB port, then the headphone jack).

    What was your complaint? I can't see how they're screwing you over, if anything they are only shooting themselves in the foot by giving in-accurate information and crappy pre-sales support but it's exactly that - pre sales support. You haven't done any business with them yet. You can easily go with another company until they've shipped your laptop.

    I actually read an article a couple of months back about LCD monitors, and how there will be a shortage in specific notebook and desktop sizes, 15.4" included, around this time. So with that in mind, yes i can believe they're out of stock.

    Hahaha, I never understood what pleasure people get from telling strangers that they'll never meet what they have (and lie) on forums. Hold on, I gotta roll. Gisele needs to borrow the Enzo for a milk-run.

    Do you not believe me? Don't be jealous that I can afford such a system.

    Thanks for letting me use the Enzo, appreciate it.

    I configured a T61 15.4" in another post and its ship date was 7/18 which is 28 days from now. So it makes sense that it's delayed 20 days because I assume it would only take 8 normally assuming no parts shortages.

    So does Pamela.

    By the way, she's using my T61 to check the number of hits on her porn site right now.

    Who cares? Pamela is WAY hotter than your mom.

    Yes, this is proof. Proof that you lied about getting the T60p. Oh look, there's Jenna Jameson at my front door.

    Don't forget your T61. The one you got 2-3 weeks after you ordered.
