    I've been wondering the same. They have some decent competition now from the new Dell E series Latitudes.

    Almost everyone who was looking forward to the X200 is wondering the same thing.

    It's probably because it's just released and all the configuration options are not available. But the base model available looks pretty base.

    This is exactly what I posted on the Lenovo forum last night..
    that is ridiculously off the price they proposed
    we should do a petition or send lenovo emails or boycott until they fix
    the price.

    Um, by not purchasing right now you're effectively boycotting it already.

    It's the first adopters' rip-off price I guess. Hopefully it will come down soon.

    If J&R is going to have that model I'm sure other will and Lenovo will also offer the same.

    Just have to wait a while.
