yum remove iwlwifi iwlwifi-kmdl mac80211-kmdl mac80211 Thanks Ryengineer, I know that is not covered by IWS, because it's model 8897. But I knew it before I have decided. That's the choice I made. Anyway, it looks that even if I have to repair it on my cost or even sent it to US for repair it was w...

Dear all, As I promised before I want to add a few words at the end. End, because finally I got my new T61 CTO model. Legally. So, if you read carefully you know that I had to ask a friend who lives in US to buy it for me. The bad news is that you have to pay the local tax (mine was 8.5% - TX), and ...

When you are European, you have to contact Euclid at the evenings, if it's 4 pm here, it's 8 am there :wink: And maybe is on vacation :wink: Yes, I was trying to reach him via phone during his working hours, of course... It is also possible he is on vacations, I do not know. Anyway, he didn't answe...

Dear All, I've promised to add the end of history... I couldn't buy it in any shop. I tried with couple, but with no success. Most of them did not answer at all. The most promisioning was "Euclid Computers". I was emailing with Alex Ozersky several times. But, at the end, when it looked very, very w...

(...)I've seen people mention Bill Morrow on other threads, does he sell ThinkPads, and could he get a CTO? I don't know if Bill Morrow can do that, but after a email talk to Alex Ozersky from Euclid Computers and ask for ordering a CTO model he asked for time to check if it possible. It's a busine...

I have spotted the 8889CTO modell already on a few reseller pages. Quite expensive ($1900), but you can at leat get a 4:3. Wow, can you share and post them? I have to check if they sell abroad... what do you want to customize on it? What specs do you want? (...) It's best to get the screen, the CPU...

CTO models can only be ordered directly from lenovo. Well, and if some reseller or other company order the CTO model? The idea was that some company can and want to order model directly for customer. Of course, if it is not forbiden by law or agreement between Lenovo and reseller... -- best regards...

Did you already tried Euclid Computers? scosgt1 isn't in his one when it's about being from the Netherlands and buying at Euclid. I know more people on this forum did, included me. :wink: Yes, I have tried already. Euclid answered that they sell only preconfigured computers. They also have not nece...

That is because Lenovo US does not ship internationally. The new thing comes to my mind right now. Is the Lenovo webshop the only place I can order customized laptop? Maybe the solution is to have a friend that will go to local reseller, buy the laptop (customized, of course) and got the invoice fo...

(...) Well, there're companies here that open you a P. O. Box as well as a physical addres at Miami, they call them self "courier". I (as customer) give my Miami Address and they receive my packages and mail there. Then import here and I can pay them here. Also, I can pay with credit card or paypal...

There are in fact quite a few ThinkPad resellers in the USA who ship international (and who accept international credit cards such as Mastercard), e.g. Euclid Computers [/u] . (...) Thanks Johan , I will try these options. Watch out for whether the T61 you buy in the USA is covered by international...

That's the biggest problem, I think
I will try to discover some method to get it...

The only way I can imagine is the T61 going through a reseller. I prefer that way, and I tried to do that for the first two weeks... That's the only person that can invoice exactly to your name or company and VAT number, so that you can subtract it from your business expenses. If my company is regi...

Btw: some companies do ban export from the US. I heard that Apple has this policy on some products, I hope IBM doesn't. I hope Lenovo does NOT. But, as I wrote earlier, I cannot see the posibility to enter another address then inside the US only. Let's see if (if ever) websales of Lenovo will answe...

The same problem if you want English (US) configuration - preloaded OS. I absolutely can't stand localized software. Unfortunately Lenovo does not provide an option to select English or "localized" version at first boot (HP does, Acer does ...). That's not a problem for me. I am using linux day by ...

This is the sort of thing I was thinking - you pay for it yourself, get the invoice, the business reimburses you and keeps the invoice as proof. Along with paying the appropriate taxes, of course. It should be ok if I can get the invoice for the polish company. That implies I couldn't buy it from L...

Try Lenovo in Germany or other (older EU-)countries nearby. Maybe you can order there, drive over, import it and pay taxes at the Polish border on your way back. If you are talking about choosing it from the web store, it's impossible - for now. I tried it with Germany, as well as in UK. (Anyway, t...

Can your business not reimburse you personally for business expenses paid for out of your own pocket? The business is my business, so I can get money from the left pocket and put it back into the right one :) But, even if it's not - the business also should have an invoice to confirm the purchase, ...

When I bought my T42, I wire transferred some money to the family of one of my friends, who were going to the US of A. The family bought it online from NewEgg, following a guide I wrote, and the visitors brought it back to Denmark, free of charge. I think it will be quite difficult for you to get i...

Dear guys, My problem is that in Poland (as in rest of Europe I think) there is NO posibilitty to buy a new T61 with integrated video card, SXGA+ and some other stuff. I have contacted the Lenovo Poland (through both international and local site) and they cannot tell me anything more that maybe in t...

Anyone knows if the new 4:3 T61s has LCD roll cage, like the one in WS version? Good question. The only model currently available (8889CTO) has no firewire and appears to be simply a T61 in T60 clothing. No idea about the roll cage or improved cooling setup. Hello, I've checked the tabook (version ...
