I just placed my order through visaperks.ca for an X61 Tablet, model 7767A4U (the TopSeller edition).

This has the 160 GB drive, 1GB RAM (I will upgrade it later), the SXGA+ screen and the L7500 1.6 GHz processor.

A bit pricey (~$2100 including GST) but Lenovo Canada doesn't have the same 25% off sales as the US site. The visaperks.ca link gives you ~$115 off.

Did they say anything about ship date?

I'm jealous! Can't wait to order mine.

They're $2184 + tax now on that site. No less on EPP either, lol
I remember last summer, the X60 and X60s dropped by about half price for the back to school sale. I'd wait til then.

About C$1800 (though visaperks.ca) for a basic X61. Not horrible for a new model, but not great. There are really very few X61/X61s models to choose from so far -- I saw nothing with turbo memory or fingerprint reader, for example.

Configuring a similar CTO on the US site ends up at about US$1350 (through usa.visa.com), plus $279 for an extra two years of depot warranty. So I guess the Canadian prices are more or less in line with the US at this point.

The system I ordered (the TopSeller X61 Tablet 7767A4U) also includes the X6 Ultrabase and a DVD burner. I configured a similar system on the US site and it came out to nearly the same price ($2100+). This goes to show the 25% Memorial Day sale and the Fathers Day Sale aren't really sales at all!

The Canadian site doesn't give a ship date and there's no way to check on the status of the order. I'll be phoning in later to see how long it'll take them, but I expect it'll be fast because the Canadian site only offers preconfigured systems.

The TopSeller prices are better, but there is only one non-table X61 TopSeller model. And that has no Ultrabase, no turbo memory, no fingerprint reader and no 4965AGN.

Maybe I should wait ... but how long?
