    Hey guys, I ordered a Thinkpad Edge E520 yesterday night with these specs; 1GB AMD Mobility Radeon Graphics, Core i5 Sandy Bridge processor, 4gb DDR3 RAM, 15.6"W HD (1366x768) Anti-glare, Heatwave Red. Also I just wanted to know your experiences with the machine and it says "Ships from plant within 8 days (plus approx. 5 bus. days delivery)". I live in Australia, Queensland just wanna know roughly how long it'd take to get here.... So pumped for my first thinkpad :D

    I brought two laptop directly from Lenovo and both those time the estimated shipping date are correct. However I had heard stories on how it take them a couple weeks to shipped out laptop, of course these are for new release on their flagship laptops.

    I kind of that the 6630 is still not available to order, but I decided that I don't really need the discrete graphic.

    Okay thanks, but does that shipping date that I posted before mean it takes around 8 days to ship and 5 days to delivered. And anyone have some links to reviews? Would like to check them out.

    I just got one as well in the US from Cost Central

    Same specs and they had for immediate delivery so should get by Friday

    Hope they deliver, as initial order was put on hold and had to verify CC
