ARGH... I think it was that 1.5GB RAM upgrade....

It says in progress up until it ships, so if it's not on a plane it says in progress, so it could possibly there is a chance ship tomorrow even though the status has yet to change even once.

Where are you obtaining an online order status? I'm in Canada, and the Lenovo Canada site doesn't seem to have that functionality - I could e-mail them with my order number but I don't want to harass them if its already on its way anyways.

i ordered my t60p with the 2 512 sticks. So, maybe it is the 1gb chip thats holding things up for people?

Hard to say. I ordered the T60 widescreen on 11/29 with 1 gb (1 sodimm), and it has been shipped and I got a UPS tracking now (coming from HK).

Did you order a customized one or a pre-configured one?

I think the pre-configured ones are ready-to-ship.

Pre-configured. That's probably why.

What time did you start the build with him? The guys that work at night start their shifts at 6pm IIRC.

he said he's there 9am to 6pm EST, i started yesterday a little before noon. i guess i could just start building one with someone else huh.

I can recommend the guy I used, though you could also try to call your guy one more time.

Anyway I wish all your lappys will be home before Christmas as the song says... but just in case take into account, you know... the snow or the typical season´s airplanes failures, don´t let out too a pilot´s strike somewhere... I said just in case... the waiting will be well rewarded, you have choosen an extraordinary piece of the latest technological machines... and welcome aboard!!!

Quick question for those who have recently ordered and received their T60's -

How many business days does it actually take to ship? My order says 2 business days, but that seems quick considering that it is coming from Hong Kong.

Mine came in 2 days but it was shipped EXPRESS...UPS is fast with their planes, ha!

just ordered over the phone, 12/1 around 7pm EST.
after not being able to get in touch with my original sales rep for an entire day, who originally seemed very competent, couldnt get in touch with marlinspike's rep, so just decided to order with whatever luck of the draw rep. estimated ship date is 12/25.

I ordered on 11-26 that was a sunday, the machine shipped on 11-29 and i recieved on 12-1. I got it on time even with a plane breaking down in Hong Kong. I opted for the free shipping I dont know how many days that is supposed to take I assumed it would be 3-7 days. for me though it was only 2 days. GO UPS.

Why, Why? your order only took less than a week.
I have been waitting for 2 weeks already...

how many ppl satifsy with LENOVO order process?

Ordered on 11/14. Estimated shipping date was 12/08 but shipped on 11/30. However, the UPS tracking record shows it's still in Hongkong... The estimated delivery date is 12/06, not sure if it could arrive.

Kind of make sense to me. I think UPS pick up ur order on 11/30, but remember, 11/30 is U.S time, In china, it will be Friday which is weekend and UPS wont work overnight to ship ur order. I do believe your tracking record will be changed on Monday. You are very lucky, gettin ur order so eariler. I have been waitting my order for 2 weeks already.

Just thought I would add my two sense to this discussion... I ordered on 11/29 and my order shipped on 12/3. The scheduled delivery date is 12/5. My system is a configured T60 as shown below:

My T60 must be going on the same plane as yours. My status also showed shipped on 11/30 and UPS estimate delivery date of 12/06. But the last entry in the tracker is still

KOWLOON BAY, HK 11/30/2006 7:44 P.M. PICKUP SCAN

I hope it shows up by Wednesday too.

Exactly the same tracking record! Hope there would be some update tomorrow. Also, I checked the warranty status with the serial number, it shows 1-yr limited service. However, I purchased the 2-yr depot repair plan. I called lenovo but they didn't see anything wrong. Probably I should check it when it arrives.

Thanks. different shipping dates may be due to different configurations. When I ordered my first T43 last Oct., I received it within two weeks. This time probably they have too many orders to process. Fortunately, I could have the T60 with me on my trip.

right now, I really do not understand why my order will be later than you guys...geeee....

Well, Ronan, I'm named after saint christopher and it was once said to me that he's the patron sainat of lost causes and thieves! maybe that helped? if you go for the invisible guy in the sky theory. Otherwise I believe Lenovo revamped their line of on sale computors for Xmas rush. Did you place your order before they changed the site around for the sale?

I am not sure about that.
I placed my order throught phone on 11/17/2006.
sight.......
If my T60 has dead pixel, I will be more [censored].

I received my laptop today!! It looks great, but so far, all I've done is take it out of its packaging and verify that everything I ordered appears to be there. I ordered it on Nov 14, so that's about 2 1/2 weeks... not bad

Got my Advanced Mini-Dock package, too - it included the dock, a spare "ultranav" keyboard, a nice little compact optical mouse, and a 1 GB USB memory stick - nice sleek black IBM with an orange light when its operating. It comes with software to require logon (protecting one's data). The spare keyboard comes with a sleek little case of its own and has USB ports on it. I'm not really sure WHY one would need an external keyboard with a laptop like this, but the entire package cost about the same as a mini-dock by itself so why not?

Gee, you must have spent a lot of $$ on it.
good to hear that...

Mine has finally shipped 12/05.

I had ordered a T60p on 11/14 with an estimated ship date of 12/08

I did get the 1.5GB RAM so maybe that was part of the delay.

Can't wait!
