where did you order it?
-
Lenovo.com
-
are you sure your credit card was charged or was it just authorized? if the card was charged then that means your order has shipped already, which doesnt make much sense.
-
Yes it has been charged, because that money is no longer in my bank account. Is anyone else going to post their shipment dates?
-
Note: Canadian order/information only
I made an order yesterday and picked the only model available from Lenovo Canada. Just called and told 3 to 6 weeks!
Hope you'd get yours faster. -

$170 for the 2x2GB kit from frys.com that deal is gone. It seems like the prices were falling and now they are going up a little.

Has anyone's T61p's shipped yet? Mine still hasn't
-

Ordered: 7/12/07
Estimated Shipping Date: 7/31/07
I hope it ends up shipping sooner than it claims... -
Ok, I just talked to a Lenovo rep, He said that they have finished shipping orders through the first week of July and are now working toward shipping the orders made past the 7th of July. This is good news for anyone who ordered on the 11th!
-
if it ships even in Q3 i'd be happy
-
-
Syxbit what is your Estimated and when did you order?
-
Order date: 07/13/07
Est. Ship Date: 08/01/07
I had to cancel my order that I placed 07/11 -
Awesome, let us know when it ships! What are your specs?
-
I just ordered a T61p a few minutes ago. It says the est. shipping date will be August 16. I'm not really that bothered by this, i guess i was just expecting it to be sooner. Actually i really had no idea what to expect. Can someone please just tell me if a one month wait is normal? Thanks.
-
I wouldn't pay to much attentions to shipping dates. It seems like from what I've read that Lenovo ships them when they are ready. Often times they are shipped out sooner. However, if it's not ready then they'll change the date.
Did you select any options that specifically said to expect a delay? What are your specs? -
My t61p configuration is:
System Processor: Intel® Core 2 Duo T7500 (2.2GHz 800MHz 4MBL2)
Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista Business
Display Panel: 15.4 WUXGA TFT
System graphics: NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M (256MB)
Total memory: 2 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM)
Hard Drive: 100GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
Optical device: DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer, Ultrabay Slim
Wireless cards: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
Battery: 6 cell Li-Ion Battery
3 Year Depot Upgrade with 3 Year ThinkPad Protection
ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock with US/Canada/LA Line Cord
3 Year Computrace LoJack
It didnt say that any of these things would delay shipping, so i dont know... -
it will be at least 30 days.
-
OK, Slyweezy your T61p config is almost identical to mine, I got the 160 GB hard drive which may make my order slower, and I got XP instead of Vista. Other than that I got the same exact laptop as you. We will see if there is a delay with the 160 gb hard drives. Be sure to post back with your actual shipping date.
Kebs what makes you say it will be 30 days? Did you hear that from someone or is that a hunch? -
Lenovo Rep says that all orders with WUXGA Display may be delayed as much as one week. They have a shortage of WUXGA Displays. Just thought I would give you all a heads up. Anyone else want to call their rep and confirm this?
-
-
By the way, my order date is now 7-12 and ship date is 7-31. My advanced mini-dock and ultra-bay SATA adapter shipped out yesterday. T61 still "in process". -
Daniel To Answer your question as of right now there is no other screen option for the T61p other than 15.4 WUXGA TFT.
Stallen did he change that after the order was placed? Cause that's just wrong. -
I was going to avoid the long story, but what the heck. I placed my original order during the day on 7-11. Later that evening I got an EPP serial from a friend. I tried to call and cancel my first order, but it was late in the evening and customer service was closed.
I was anxious to get my order placed right away, since I'd been waiting for that day to come for so long, so I placed another order that same evening on 7-11. So on 7-12 I called up first thing and spoke to a sales rep and asked him to cancel my first order. I gave him the order number and he canceled it. He then insisted that I give him my second order number. This raised an eyebrow but I thought maybe he was just going to check and make sure that order was intact. So I gave it to him. I NEVER asked for any assistance with the order. I NEVER asked to make any changes to the order. He just said everything looks OK and that was the end of conversation.
Later in the day I was stewing about the rep asking for the order number of my second order. So I called and spoke to a different rep. I explained to her that I am getting an AMEX/TM discount because it is an online order and I was calling to make sure it is indeed an online order. She said, well you can't get that discount because it was a phone order. I explained to her what happened in the previous phone call and that I placed the order ONLINE! She said she couldn't change it back. SO I CANCELED AGAIN!!! Then placed my third and hopefully final order later on in the day on 7-12.
I am all about people needing to make a living. I'm sure the sales reps get some sort of compensation for phone orders, but that rep did not provide any service to me at all. If I was calling asking for advice on what processor, hard drive, yatta yatta. Then he would deserver it. Instead he was a great dis-service to me. -
Wow, I would be pitching a fit to a manager somewhere. Did that push your shipping date back any further?
-
My final order was on 7-12. Expected Ship date 7-31.
I told the second sales rep to say something to the first rep that I was POed about him changing it. I figured it wouldn't get very far with a manager and do me no good.
Anyway, I figure it is pretty common so I discourage people from calling if you are trying to get any "online only" discounts. -
Yeah, I had no idea. I had to do my order over the phone, I didn't have enough room on any credit cards so I had to split it over 2!
-
I ordered online using the AMEX discount. would this have delayed the shipping maybe?
On the lenovo website, it says 1-2 weeks shipping for the t61p. One month is significantly longer in my opinion. Was i just naive to expect it would actually take 1-2 weeks? I really hope the date doesn't get pushed back further, i need this machine for when i start college in Canada at the end of August. If it ships after I'm gone... well that would simply suck. This is my first laptop so I'm unsure of what to do about this situation or even if anything can be done. What do you guys suggest? Is it worth calling Lenovo to bug them about this? Thanks. -
Yeah, that would suck, Apparently they are having screen shortages. Lenovo rep said that they knew about screen shortages before orders so the estimated shipping date is calculating the screen shortage. It shouldn't be after that date according to him. Hope this helps!
-
I just placed a T61P order on 7-17 and the est. ship date is 8/17. That is a full month. So much for 1-2 weeks.
Anyways does anyone know of any good deals for a 2 gb stick of ram? and also where's the cheapest place I can get a 7k200? Thanks in advance. -

Wow, I just noticed that. Oh well, I am not desperate for it as long as I get it before school starts.
I got mine configured with 1 gb and I was planning to put another 2 gb stick in to make it 3 gb. Does it slow down performance when I have an assymetrical configuration? And I ended up getting a 32bit version of Vista, was that a bad idea?
