Sorry if this was covered in one of the previous posts - can not find it using forum search.

I want to buy a specific X301 model from Lenovo - 2776-LAU.
When I go to their store - the only model listed is 2777.

Does anybody know how to find the model I need?

Thank you
TP

Clarification: I want to order from Lenovo store. Google is not indexing all of it.

As far as I know, you can only order certain CTO models from Lenovo directly. For others, you have to buy them from a(n authorized) reseller. 2776-LAU seems to belong in the latter category.

Edit: or call them on the phone and see whether you can buy it that way from Lenovo.

yes, you have to call them.

Good news is that they did offer me those models on the tabook list but prices on retailers are usually better by some $50-100 less. Since warranty is the same and Lenovo has restocking fee i see n advantages of buying from them unless you want a customized model (the CTO model mentioned above)
