    Better yet, drop the battery to the non-slim one. They'll give you $6.00 to take the laptop from them, :p

    Remember, with these things, DO NOT CALL LENOVO ABOUT THE PRICE.

    Hahaha, I ordered one just to see what will happen. If they try to charge actual price, it won't go through anyway, because its above the limit on my debit card. :p

    Oh yea, it won't let you check out at negative $6. ;)

    You know what happens when you successfully submit an order for something they don't like the price of afterwards? If you guess "they just cancel it", you'd be wrong.

    (Hint: they charge you the real price)




    Peer pressure got me. HOPEFULLY worst that happens is cancellation.

    It would be some kind of miracle of this actually went through. Chances are, it'll hit fatwallet or slickdeals, 100000 people will attempt ordering, lenovo's servers will implode, they'll rush to fix the error, and slowly send out cancellation emails over the next few days. (or, try to charge full price and get their phone lines flooded with people cancelling)

    I don't think they have the right to adjust the price of your order. If anything, they're just going to cancel all orders.

    considering you get an email confirmation of the low low price, i think it would be difficult for them to change the price. i think they may just cancel on everyone.

    Oh man I wish you would have let them know that before they adjusted my order after checkout. I am literally so burned by this situation, I don't even want to risk anything else on my card right now, even for a near free x series while I'm trying to get the notebook I bought for the price I bought it for.

    lol $68.20 after taxes, shipped.


    Well, at least I got the email with that price on it, that's one step further than I got with my LAST order before they changed the price.

    It authorized my card.

    Ordered 2. NO ONE CALL LENOVO!!!

    Honestly though, if I get these things, I'll buy a T61 for full price. It's only fair.

    According to the terms and conditions:

    2. Payment
    ...
    If a Product is quoted at an incorrect price due to typographical error or error in pricing information:
    1) Lenovo has the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for the Product quoted at the incorrect price, even if Lenovo has confirmed the receipt of your order and charged your credit or debit card: and
    2) If Lenovo has charged your credit or debit card but subsequently canceled your order, Lenovo will promptly issue a credit to your credit or debit card account for the amount charged.

    so I guess if they catch it they can cancel it. Let's hope they don't.

    They can't change the price without telling you, unless you previously agreed to that, so worse case they will cancel it.

    Mine are still good. However, one thing I found weird: when I ordered, I chose the L2300. Anything else bumped the price up to regular price. However, on both of my orders, it shows that I ordered a L2400. Anyone have this?
