ThinkPad... here I come!

1995: First ThinkPad I wanted. It was sold fod over $3000. My father was about to buy it when my uncle said its way too expensive and so I ended up with a brandless desktop.

2002: I wanted to buy a laptop, but just couldn't pay the huge amount for a thinkpad that other laptops offer similar specs at much lower price.

2007: Fiancee wanted to order me thinkpad tablet pc, her order was rejected, lenovo don't sell to international credit cards.

2008: (June) My university notified me that I'll be receiving a ThinkPad laptop (R61). Semester almost over, everyone got their laptops, and for some reason they're unable to give me my thinkpad! (ran out of stock!!)

Two days ago: I found out about Lenovo outlet store. got good deal on brand new tablet.

Yesterday: Placed an order with AMEX credit card (supposedly this is the only card they wont decline even if it was from international bank).

Now i'm wondering... what could go wrong?

 

hmm, last time I wanted a Thinkpad X31, I ended up with a Dell 710m.. so

GOOD LUCK nameIess!!!

 

funny, i *just* closed the Dell website. and their's is even CHEAPER than the tablet i order... but i really REALLY want the tablet *sigh*

Lmao, dude maybe you and IBM were just never meant to be!

 

with AMEX card you will get 1yr extra warranty?

tell you that lenovo is not the best. lol.

 

Talk about a dream deferred! Like a raisin in the sun.

 

And then the tablet got stollen...! Oops. That's bad Thinkpad karma. I'd get insurance!

 

yeah i thought about that. so i might get insurance.

 

hopefully u'll get it soon...
LUV LENOVO...

 

the good thing is, its from a canceled order. meaning they already have it and ready to be shipped. they just have to process the order.

but even if things work out quickly and ship it soon. i'm sending it to my parents address. meaning i wont be able to pick it up till january!

 

Why not have your parents ship it to you? I hope it was worth the wait.

 

i've been ordering thinkpads since 2005 from ebay shipping internationally to Kuwait with no issues payment via bank wire and all my recent orders via paypal since they added Kuwait

never order from lenovo its always more expensive than ebay offerings

i've ordered T42P T60P T61P X300 and W500 all from ebay for me and for friends of mine

thinkpad lover since 2001 never thought of changing EVER!

 

you'll not get it, sorry, try shipping to your country

I posted in your other thread

 

why did all the students at your school get thinkpads? for free?

 

I'm paying $35K tuition per year, so its not really 'free' for me. But I'm sure other local students who get free education will also receive the same laptop for 'free'.

 

I 'm supposed to get my W700 within 3 weeks... can't wait!

 

How much you paid?

 

bleh; my order is nowhere. i just set started blogging about it! http://longestreview.blogspot.com/

 

Hey zerosource, I paid $4200 with taxes (real price $5500) but using Lenovo's employee's website without ID (I don't work for Lenovo). Sometimes they let you use it (last time it was possible between the 30 and 31 of October) and I saved $1300!! Much better than any ecoupon or special offer out there!

Got the info from HERE

Hope that helps!
