    Hey everyone, I noticed something really odd today:

    Go to the Canadian Lenovo website
    the T series notebooks start at $1,074

    Now go to the VisaPerks Canada website
    the T series notebooks start at $1,158

    What the hell is going on?! :eek:

    It seems that the prices and models available fluctuate all day. This morning I was looking to buy one X61 model I had my eyes on last night, but it was no longer available this morning. X61ses weren't available last night but now they were and gone again. Now, the ThinkPads with Penryn CPUs start surface on the Lenovo Canada site. The prices of the T series also went down this morning and went back up again; the same thing happened a few days ago. Weird and very unprofessional!

    Another one weird thing was yesterday it cost the same to upgrade from T7250 to T7300/T7500. This morning it cost more to upgrade from T7250 to T7300 than from T7250 to T7500. Now, it's back to normal.

    Very competent, Lenovo.

    Another interesting thing about Visaperks and Lenovo. I buillt 2 computers (Thinkpad T61) identical to each other, One I went through Visaperks the other through the webiste official. You did save $53 through visaperks. But what was interesting is they show that initial saving before you begin to build the computer. As you up grade there it 2-5$ savings with each upgrade through Visaperks compared, but when you get to the checkout you don't see the savings, it's still $53! Someone needs to explain that one.
