Ordered 11/20, shipped 11/25, couldn't ask for much faster shipment. Much better than how long it took for my T60 to ship when I ordered it.

Well, I thought I would be getting it soon... (ordered 11/25/2007)

Took the plunge and ordered T61p on 11/28, estimated shipping date 12/31. Praying it comes much much earlier.. if it arrives before Christmas, it would be nice.

Update:
11/29/2007 9:25:00 Am Ups Internal Activity Code / The Package Was Missorted At The Hub. It Has Been Rerouted To The Correct Destination Site Anchorage, Ak Us -
WoW is all I can say. I ordered my T61p on 11/28 as well, estimated ship date is 12/17. Pretty standard config for me, though noteably, no DVD burner or 9 cell battery. I know that if you order a DVD burner, they will back out the ship date two extra weeks. I didn't opt for that, as I do that on my desktop, so that could be the reason for your date being two weeks later than mine. Heard the same about 9 cell batteries. Anything unique in your configuration??
I'm with you though...would LOVE to see it much sooner. My current laptop is fried. Screen is broken, battery lasts about 25 minutes, hard drive and/or ram is shot, causing it to freeze up every 10 seconds. Absolutely driving me nuts to the point where I can barely stand to be on it until it is replaced.
Lets cross our fingers. -
wow is right. 12/31 is really long time.. makes me want to cancel n buy dell which can guarantee me within 3 days.. but i think thinkpad will be worth the wait.. i did get the dvd burner + longer battery since i will need both on the road. still no changes on delivery estimate on the website.. now im thinking ill be lucky if it ships ontime!!

haha, maybe they forgot something.
My order: 11/26

Shipped 11/30 not quite as speedy as your two days, but still nice. -
My T61:
Ordered 11/26
Delivered 11/30
Estimated 12/13
5 days from order to receipt.
AMAZING! for a custom build from China (at least to me). -
Well, I have been obsessive compulsively checking my IBM account for a status update and late last night it changed to shipped.
To recap:
ordered: 11/26
Shipped: 11/30 US time
Estimated ship date: 12/17
I'm expecting to receive it Monday or Tuesday. I use worldwide express shipping myself when sending things to Asia, and I think IBM is using the same expedited service to send these out. Weird because I thought I selected free ground shipping.
Will update when I receive. I'm totally pumped. Nothin like a brand new computer...will be my first "nice" laptop too. I've always owned Dells and/or Gateway garbage -
I'm in the exact same situation as you Derek, right down to the ship date. My current laptop is a dilapidated old hp pavilion weight about 9 lbs. Can't wait till I get my new thinkpad.

I ordered a T61 tonight (12/1) with an ESD of 1/3/08.

Well, good news for anyone who has ordered recently and was disappointed with the crazy ship date.
I just received mine today. I ordered last Wednesday around 6PM eastern time, so I got it on the 3rd business day!! Estimated ship date was 12/17. I like their policy: better to be surprised by getting it early than disappointed because you got it late. IBM manages your expectations very well
For anyone wondering, I posted most of my configuration earlier in this thread. Check last Wed or Thurs.
Good luck to those of you waiting still. -

might pay for that dvd lag time, but think it's well worth the wait.
give me my laptop lenovo
gravie -
hey did you guys order your laptop with the upgrade Ultraslim DVD drive that increased shipping estimates to 3-4 weeks or did you guys choose the 2-4 weeks one, because I just placed an order and my estimated shipping date is 1/3/08
and i really want this laptop before Christmas.
-
Yeah, the 3-4 week one.
time to just wait and hope for a present..
gravie -
3-4 week delay isnt worth the wait for the dvd burner imo.. stupid me

Hello Guys,
I am new here, and just took the plunge on a T61p... The 25% off + 13% coupon was too tempting to pass up. This is actually my first laptop. Always been a desktop guy. I hear these Lenovo's are the best in the biz, so hopefully I made a great purchase.
Here's what I got:
Lenovo Thinkpad T61p
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7500 (2.2GHz 800MHz 4MBL2)[1]
Genuine Windows Vista Business 64[12]
15.4 WSXGA+ TFT
NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M (256MB Open GL)
1 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz SODIMM Memory (1 DIMM)[8]
UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad) with Fingerprint Reader
160GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm[4]
DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer, Ultrabay Slim[5]
Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 4965AGN (supporting Centrino Pro)[10]
Bluetooth
6 cell Li-Ion Battery[60]
6459: Express - 1 Yr Depot Warranty
Plus the 2 year depot warranty.
My total after the 25% savings and 13% coupon came out to $1419 before tax, $1519 with tax. Not a bad deal I hope. I plan to grab a 4gig kit of memory for this baby and then I'll bet set. Not sure which to choose though. Don't want to have any conflicts. Anyway, looks like I got an estimated shipping date of 1/3/08
-
I'm in the same boat...
I ordered the T61p last night and also got an estimated shipping date of 1/3/08.
Here's my order:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7800 (2.6GHz 800MHz 4MBL2)
Genuine Windows Vista Business 64
15.4 WSXGA+ TFT
NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M (256MB Open GL)
1 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz SODIMM Memory (1 DIMM)
200GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm with Disk Encryption
DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer, Ultrabay Slim

4 in 1 Media Card Reader
Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 4965AGN (supporting Centrino Pro)
9 cell Li-Ion Battery

I'll be upgrading to 4gigs of ram from newegg. I'll either go with the G.SKILL or the GeIL but I haven't decided yet. I'll wait to order those till after my laptop has shipped; hopefully the prices will have dropped by then.
Good luck everyone! Let's hope Lenovo was being really conservative with those est. ship dates! -
Hi,
where can I get this "13% coupon"?
Serious question, guys.
Greets. -
Use this ecoupon: USPTSERIESDEC
-
I think it's worth the wait, if you're going to invest this much in a laptop it should come with what you want. I know the wait sucks as I'm doing the same, but when it shows up on your doorstep.. all will be forgotten
The 25%+13% was just too good of a deal on a powerhorse laptop like the T61p. I used to support the Thinkpads and they were hands down the most rugged laptops I ever did see
. Then we moved to Dell, dead harddrive, broken keyboard etc etc
Now I work on my Zen.. patience
gravie -
Hello. Ordered 11/25 recieved today, 12/4
Somewhere else here somebody posted about don't try and follow your UPS tracking info too closely... it will drive you crazy. Man where they ever right!
Box in good shape, letting it warm up after it's ride in the truck all day (it's in the mid-20's here now). -
Much cheaper to upgrade now than later. The delay does suck, but I've seen reports of machines shipping in less time. Christmas will be tight with build and ship times. Hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised.
-
I also couldn't resist to pull the trigger. I got the following configuration today (12/04/07) for 1,054.75 (incl. tax) - 60 (fat cash) = $995.
Shipping date is 01/03/08 but I have my fingers crossed. Hope to get it before Christmas. -
got email that my computer has been shipped!
can't wait till i get it! esd was 1/02/08 b/c of the
dvd burner but i guess they got inventory now.
-
How long does it take to get the order if shipped by UPS ground ? Do they leave it at the door or we need to sign ?
-
WOW I hope my computer gets shipped too!!
my est ship date is 1/03/08
-
December 22. You have to call and get the DVD burner (for free) separately.
-
Can you please explain what you mean by this?
-
Nice romi80
Hope I made the cut.
please Lenovo give me a present, I've been good I swear
gravie -
I ordered one. When I called to make a change, the guy on the line said that he would order me a computer with the combo drive and then order the DVD burner separately. Then, he would deduct the price of the DVD burner. That's what happened. I have two drives for the price of the DVD burner plus faster shipping.
I also got free shipping, but I don't know why. -
Wow sweet, I think I should call them and ask them to do that too. And for the free shipping, everyone gets free shipping in December but I forgot the specific date it ends or starts.
-
I also had a similar experience with Lenovo rep! Back in late August when I ordered my system, it came out to about $1,350 I think, but then for some reason I went to cancel and reorder (I must've forgot to select a feature), the rep put me on hold then came back with the reconfigured machine I told him about, which should've been more than $1,350, but for some reason he got it down to $1,140. So then I received my electronic receipt via email and the guy gave me free Bluetooth PAN, which I didn't even ask for.
This was my first experience with Lenovo and because of experiences like this, I'm going to be a long time customer.
The free shipping is just some promotion they had going for awhile I think. -

Is this the "DVD Recordable, Ultrabay Slim"? I'm about to order a T61 but the site says that the DVD burner will delay my shipment by 3-4 weeks.
-
No these are not the same thing and I have ordered a laptop with the DVD Recordable too on the 3rd, and the estimated shipping date is 1/3/08
-
Cheer up Azetab! There is hope, check it out.. ordered same day as you
Status: Shipped on 12/06/2007
Whoot.. big freagin WHOOT -
O.O WOW
That means my mine could ship soon too!!
Then perhaps I could stop refreshing my email and my T61 Order Status page every minute
Btw did you get an email or was it on the Lenovo Order Status page?
-
On the order page. I'm assuming the email will come tomorrow or over night.
I'm sure I missed this in my lurking, anyone know where they ship from? (china?)
kicking myself for ground service.. such a cheapa$$
