It took 2 weeks, but I finally managed to get my order through to Lenovo...

I ended up losing the 19% off deal, and had to go with the 10% off. It cost me a media card slot, wireless N, single 2GB dimm, and a 9 cell battery but I'm still happy I guess. Its not really Lenovo's fault, its more because of my stupid credit card company that doesn't know how to authorize me for large purchases...


Lenovo T400
Core 2 Duo P8600
2x1GB DDR3 1066
Radeon HD 3470
80GB HDD
14.1" WXGA+ screen
6 cell battery

Lenovo is god awful. I've dealt with them before and it took forever to get a new monitor when my dad's old one had a racing stripe.

"*me punching in lenovo's number"
"Now connecting your call to Atlanta, Georgia"
yeah right...sure
Strong Indian Accent "Ello, dis is Abdul in Atlanta, what can I do fo you today"
"My Lenovo monitor has a racing stripe where the monitor has warped. I've tried unplugging, I've tried different cables, I've tried different computers and the stripe is still there. When I apply pressure directly to the stripe it vanishes. When I bend the monitor slightly in both hands it goes away. The monitor has warped from a factory defect and needs to be returned."
"Have you tried a different cable? The cable could be bad."

Their tech support is ******ed, their computers are crap and I still can't believe IBM sold out to them....

At least you were able to connect. I hung up after 30 minutes on hold. A man can only listen to so much classical music before he snaps...

And don't diss their computers. I wouldn't trust their monitors, but they are up there with Apple in terms of laptop build quality.
