Nope.

Go to Marketplace of this forum and request Bill (the host of this forum). He ships internationally.
Please update the location in your profile before doing so.

How to take advantage of the US/UK exchange rates?

Hi, I've just seen the x61s prices on the Lenovo site, $1200 for a basic model, this will probably be £1200 in the UK, basically double the price.

Do Lenovo US ship internationally?

Hi, will FN-F5 will work if Access Connections is removed?

I basically connect to my home access point and not much else so the Intel proset functionality would be OK.

Wanted new quiet HD for x60s

Hi everyone, I've been lucky enough to compared a x60 against the x60s (see post in hot wrist rest thread). I'm sticking with the x60s because of its quieter fan, HOWEVER The x60 has a Hitachi 40GB Travelstar 0A26922 HTS541040GSA00 which is near silent, the x60s has a 60gb Fujitsu MHV2080BH, this dr...

Could also try ebay(UK), I found a low spec x60 (1.66ghz solo) for £750, choose your seller carefully, wouldnt recommend anything international, except for some of the US powersellers (though you'd get a US keyboard)

Hi, using TPfancontrol, i see about 48'c on the APS sensor (x60 1.8ghz), I'm not happy about the fan noise, so tying a x60s soon.

Hi, I've just tested an x60 with a 1.8Ghz CPU (1706), great machine with the same solid build quality as my X31. However, the CPU fan ran all the time, even when the machine was idling at 1Ghz, my X31 is totally silent except under heavy load when the fan spins up. I've read some posts that indicate...

UK users - anyone used the Vodafone 3G version?

Hi everyone, has anyone in the UK used the X60 / X60s version with Vodafone 3G support (I imagine similar the the Verizon USA model)?

- Does it have a user installable SIM?
- If so, where?
- Does it have an aerial bump?
- Does it support GPRS as well?

Thanks
