    UWB!!!!!

    I ordered my laptop without UWB (installing linux) 11 days ago and it has shipped. If you have UWB expect shipments to begin in 3 to 4 weeks.

    Can someone explain what UWB is...? Sorry but I have no idea what this is and I would like my order to ship as fast as possible

    So how do we configure to not have UWB?

    typhoon - Not saying you're wrong, but many of our t61p's with UWB/WUSB are now shipping. I ordered 2 weeks back and it shipped two days ago.

    ugh lenovo has really f'd up the priorities. They seem to ship out to the people who ordered late first and the early last.

    Pissing me off big time

    That is messed up. I have to wait a month before it ships (ESD 8/23), while people who just ordered recently wait only 2 weeks?

    Lenovo dont tell me that a "part" of Computer hasnt arrived as a excuse for my late shipment. The computer i ordered is no different than Wisdom's or anyone elses.

    at least 40% of the people upgraded to the T7500, everyone has the same 570M, same WUXGA screen, the harddrive issue seems to be resolved, and etc.

    Maybe this is my punishment for pulling the trigger too early.

    I've seen this about 3 times on here now. Lenovo runs out of parts, delays some orders, then gets the parts, finishes all the back orders plus the new ones, and all the people waiting can't understand why it happened this way.

    TPA please dont preach me how lenovo does things. I know perfectly whats going on here. I understand that they run out of parts, but what i dont understand is why they put the late orders on top. I just got a email today explaining to me that my order, once again has been pushed back from 7/31/07- 8/13/07- 8/31 - 9/7/07. They give me delays like a stranger gives kids candy!

    I dont know what lenovo is doing behind closed doors, but it seems very dis-organized and rushed.
