    I have a T61 on order. It is now $365 cheaper on the website. Will lenovo honor this discount if I call them, or should I re-order?

    Mine is $60 cheaper. For the time it isn't worth it to call and haggle for the money. A $365 difference for the same configuration does not sound correct to me... that's a 20% decrease on an order of $1,800... I doubt any config dropped that much.

    Well, that's a significant difference. Which items has the biggest price drop? Memory? Disk?

    Lenovo dropped the base price by about $100, than I used the coupon for additional 10% off (not available before), 3-year support price went down as well by some $40 and the processor upgrade 2.2GHz is cheaper now. Maybe other things as well but the total was much better now :)
