    Does anyone know about the ability of these models in Hong Kong? Especially the T61p model.

    I currently live in mainland china, but am intending to visit Hong Kong in 3 weeks and hopefully pick up a laptop at the same time. I'll only be in hong kong for 3-4 days, so it won'tbe possible for me to orer, then wait for delivery.

    The t61p doesn't seem to be available in mainland China yet, and I often only see lower spec thinkpads.

    Is anyone based in Hong Kong, or visited recently and can offer some advice? I'm 90% sure I want a t61p, a model around the $1800 mark.

    I asked a Lenovo rep about 1.5months ago about the availability of the T61p, he said that they have to be specially order, as they are not available in stores in HK...and its set you back to about $18,000 HKD :( But T61 are readily available in many store in HK, you can chekc out the HK Golden computer center :D

    What specs is the HKD$18,000 one? The only ones I find on the Lenovo HK website are 14" (and all very expensive). No 15" ones let alone T61P with 15" WUXGA, 570M & T7700. I'd be interested in the T61P @ that price.

    The guy said starts at $18,000 but i am not sure about the specs...but i am 100% sure you can get a 15'' T61 in HK :).......apparently T61p can be found in stores also but I am not 100% sure where, and its is more expensive...

    May I suggest you give Lenovo HK a call, tell them your specs requirement or intended model, then ask them for the telephone numbers of a few of HK retailers, then call these retailers to confirm availability of the model you want before you go to HK to that shop.

    I have even done the homework of finding Lenovo HK contact number(s) for you. Just click :
