Thinkpads Forum

Hi all,

I've been recommended to come here to ask for help getting a E420s.
Problem is that I live in Stavanger, Norway and the Lenovo brand releases its products much later here.
Often twice the price of the US store or more.

So I am wondering if there is any helpful people here willing to act as my middle man.

The item of my desire is the brand new Thinkpad Edge E420s, the Intel Core i5-2410M Processor (2.3GHz up to SC 2.9GHz, 3MB L3) version going for $749 right now.
I also want the Bluetooth option added which would up the price to $769. I would of course pay for shipping to Norway and a suitable middle man service fee.

I see that the E420s is now available to norwegian buyers.
No custom builds though.

So the model I want without the Bluetooth included amounts to $1944,81 in the Norway shop, compared to $769 with Bluetooth included in the US shop.
This is simply way more than I can afford, or would be willing to pay even if I could afford it. Frankly, it's a pretty crazy asking price even in Norway.

I really want this laptop and would be willing to pay up to $100 for the service and another $100 upon recieving the laptop, totaling a cool $200 for the effort.

Hello man,
Did you buy that laptop? If not then let me know, I can help you in this connection. The same is available in Beijing.
Thanks,

Hi Ram,

To answer your question, yes I have bought the laptop now.
I got the help I needed from the forum admin, Bill Morrow.
Thanks for the offer though.
