    I just logged onto the Lenovo site and where there had previously been hundreds of items listed in the Outlet section, including refurbs, there are now -- um... like, seven altogether? Where have all the refurbs gone????

    They remodeled the website and don't have any units really populating it yet. Just be patient and stuff will show up eventually.

    Knowing Lenovo, it will be a long wait until they have the site fully populated.

    Those returns got to be piling up. At some point they're going to have to repopulate it, but the question of when is up in the air.

    Any idea as to whether the SL models they offer have matte or glossy screens? I e-mailed them over a week ago, but haven't received a response.

    The Lenovo Outlet staff does not believe in replying customer emails.

    I am not joking.

    They answer the phone though. I called to cancel an order and they were very helpful.
