    Chances of getting it ordered and shipped? Not very likely.

    They why are there only 10% coupons out there? I can buy a T61 but they are still $900-$1100 for basic specs.

    What is the name of their refresh, though?

    *facepalm*

    T500 and T400 for the 15.4" and 14.1" respectively and W500 for the T61p. Check the site news under new Thinkpads.

    There is only info on SL series. I'm confused as to where people are getting their T400 and T500 specs from.

    And since the SL series are actually on the page right now, but say they won't ship for 4 weeks, I think its pretty safe to say that the new T400 and T500 won't ship before August 21st either. I could be wrong...

    8GB RAM is useless for 99% of the buyers. Right now 2GB has the biggest share in Lenovo's sales.
