    Uh.. Does anyone know about this?

    I was just sorta playing around with configs and found this...

    [​IMG]

    +$9,349 for what seems to be older, slower technology? I read and the TDP is 35W, so that's higher than the P-series and it's 800MHz socket P...

    I don't know...is this just a weird typo?

    Edit: it's up to "add $9,774.00"

    Kind of a mixture... I'm amused at the fact that a massive typo like this could end up making a weaker laptop that's several times more expensive than buying just one. At the same time, I'm a little confused/worried that Lenovo could let this kind of a typo get past whoever manages their site...

    I mean, I'm not actually worried, I just think it's pretty funny mainly.

    Heh. I don't know what to say really -- hopefully someone from Lenovo checks up on this soon ...

    well, earlier they accidentally put on that extra cheap SSD options as well eh? They should really check their websites more carefully.

    I am not surprised as problems come up often in Lenovo's ordering system. (coupons not working correctly, wrong prices, missing items, etc...)
    They should now have fixed the problem as well as repaired the warranty options which were removed last night.
    Not quite sure about the coupons though. One thing I do find very annoying is that I am always getting the Session Expired message when shopping. Jeez!
