Latest availability status -- 2373H6U & 2686DFU

[gforce]

Hey guys,

I just got off the phone after speaking with a representative from Lenovo. 90 units of the 2373H6U (one of the models listed on the manager's picks webpage) have been placed on order right now and they don't have a single unit in stock. The estimated shipping date for an order placed right now would be after 3-4 weeks.

For the 2686DFU, the situation is pathetic. More than 200 units have been placed on order and the estimated shipping date for my unit (order placed in the last week of september) is the last week of November.

It seems that there isn't a single T series model (with a dedicated graphics card) that is in stock right now.

you can use this url to find out what the inventory status of the desired model is. Just replace XXXXXXX with your machine type.

Code: Select all

Yes, description will be empty, but that's just another param on the URL, and you can put whatever you want in there.

2686DFU
The other isn't listed.

According to a Lenovo rep., the inventory status displayed on the IBM/Lenovo website isn't a true indicator of the actual status. For example, the 2379R1U is listed as "in stock" but is actually out of stock and has a wait time of 5 days.
I'm gonna get a list of the current T series models in stock from the Lenovo rep tomorrow morning.

It seems that the 2373H6U is in stock right now. My friend ordered one last night and was told that it would be shipped on Monday.
