own6volvos, how are you going to take advantage of dual cores with XP Home? or are you just planning on using your own copy?

I asked the same 2 weeks ago and at that time the issue was specifically with 7200RPM drives, not 5400 units. My unit has been pushed back twice to 7/13 but yesterday I got an E-mail saying it shipped 6/27!

Every single part of my laptop is in stock but the drive. 40-60-80-100 were all like this.

interesting...
To finish this up, last week it moved out a little bit more, from 7/10 to 7/13. I figured in a odd way that was good - if they are fine tuning the ship date, they have a pretty good feel for it, right? Not exactly... it shipped on 6/28! That only mildly surprised me since Lenovo can't seem to schedule thier own birthdays. The surprise though was that it showed up on my doorstep today - a little less than 36 hours later from Hong Kong and UPS considered this "delayed". So, while I ordered ground shipping, it seems that Lenovo spent the big buck on overnight - from half way around the world.

When I ordered from the Lenovo site my 2613-EBU (custom, T2500, X1400, 9 cell, 14.1", 1.5GB, 60GB 7200RPM):
Web order on 5/15 with anticipated 1-3 weeks delivery
Confirmation E-mail next day on 5/16 jumped to 4 weeks (classic Lenovo bait & switch) with a due date of 6/12
On 6/13 new E-mail from Lenovo with updated ship date of 7/10. Apparently they did not know until that day that they would miss the ship date by 4 weeks (insert sarcasism)
I'm not very confident in the new ship date. Every Lenovo I've purchased has slipped. What's aggravating is that they don't earmark inventory for your order. (other stuff snipped)
