long shipping time

[RVD]

has anyone else bought an X61T lately? i purchased one on 1/21 and the confirmation and order status page said that it would ship on 2/2. Yesterday they changed the ship date to 2/23. It's going to be 6 weeks from the time of purchase by the time I receive this machine!

Is that fairly normal? why does it take so long? My setup was fairly standard. the only differences from the default settings are:

1) vista ultimate
2) multitouch screen
3) 160gb 7200 hard drive

I would cancel but I used that 25% coupon so the price was pretty good (about $1200 for this package).
