As of right now, Im 3rd in the list of 84 T series laptops to be built... in the world!

Don't you find 84 to be really small? For the World?? I expected more... geez, they actually build them ONE at a time? Wow.. got a kick out that.

"Huh ?"

Sorry, called in to IBM/Lenovo direct and they scanned through the database over the phone and stated my position on the build list.

Thanks, but don't you find 84 to be small.. for the entire planet? I did.

I think you were given some incorrect information.
YES, there HAVE TO BE more than 84 T series laptops waiting to be built for "planet earth", as you say. I would guess thousands, but that would be just a guess, but....84....no way.

Heh,

that's what I figured too.. but that's the rep said after going through the database.. you're probably correct though.

That is perhaps the number for the specific model that you purchased. There are many different model numbers, some more popular than others.

I asked if this was restricted to model number or overall T series, he said the latter.

Wow I am surprised to hear that is the number for the entire T series. Sounds like you ordered a Ferrari or something.

Im in agreement though with you and others... I just don't know how this is possible.

Maybe it is 3/84 on a certain production line at a certain building?

Man, it could be anything... all I know is he said, "Lemme check the status of your order on the T-series build list on this database." I said okay and he came back with 3/84. I asked him if he was serious and if the list was on a world wide scale, "Im third on the T's build list out of 84 found in IBM's database for the World??" (with emphasis) He confirmed and I naturally choked with shock and said okay - have a nice day and hung up.
