***PIC/SPEC THREAD - POST PICS OF YOUR R400/500 HERE PLEASE:

[nyc03usmcr]

I'll be receiving my R400 via UPS within the next few days. Kinda [censored] off at the fact that I might have to deploy overseas very soon ( after returning in Apr ) but I find consolation that this time around I'll be better prepared along with a superior machine at that.

Any hoo... I'll post a detailed combination of pictures starting from the Lenovo package itself to the last detail but I would appreciate it if the rest of you guys/gals can post your pics.

I can't post any R400/R500 pics since I have a R60, but what did you get? Good luck over there.

Thanx, I'll need all the luck I can get if I do go over there... not allowed to say or write the country's name but I'll give you several hints: It's bordered along Pakistan and populated by mountain goats smarter than it's residents.

I just checked UPS and I should receive it on Monday the 24th.

Pretty good laptop so far. Very impressed with it, especially given the price.

[nyc03usmcr]

how much did you pay for it? i paid around 980 for mine.

[Ryan_C]

About 1050 after everything.

[nyc03usmcr]

UPS notified me about my R400 delivery tomorrow the 24th... can't wait. Last time I got to use a thinkpad was 2+ yrs ago.

There's a starbucks near my house that is jam-packed after 3pm or so EVERYDAY and a large number of them use Thinkpads... it pretty funny because thinkpad users tend to sit on one side and every other brand users on the other. I ought to take pics of that spectacle also.
