Congrats on your new laptop purchase!

Excellent purchase, very close to mine!
Congratulations.
BTW, if you're planning to perform a Windows XP clean install, which I highly recommend, I suggest the guide in my signature. -
Thanks for the replies, this was an outlet deal, New, not refurbished. I will be doing a clean install, thanks for the guide!

Great deal.

Why no bluetooth?

You did very well. Good job. The warranty was sweet.

Yeah, seriously... why no bluetooth? It comes in handy once in awhile...

Need some insight again guys. I placed my order on the 3rd with a ship date of January 10th. Then it got pushed back to Jan. 16th, and now it's pushed back to the 22nd. This is ridiculous, it is a pre-configured system, it should have been sitting on the shelf. Is this typical of Lenovo and their outlet deals?
I've called 3 times over the last two weeks and they assured me it would ship on the 16th. Would I get any better of a response through e-mail? -
very nice deal.
-
You can only try. It will not hurt to send them an e-mail.
Bluetooth is useless unless you have wireless headphones or phones and you don't want to connect through USB. -

As for the bluetooth, you can't "add" options in the Outlet as they were unopened returns supposedly so that's why he probably didn't opt for it...not to sabotage his thread but I looked for myself and found the configuration below for $854. There's a guy selling his used one (on this board) but I like having a 3 yr warranty vs 6 mth...his specs are superior but I mainly want a quiet, slim, light laptop...for pleasure not business so i don't need "the works"

Bluetooth does come in handly.
I have a Sony Ericsson with a 3.2mp camera and I use bluetooth ALOT to transfer pics.
T61 Good deal?
