lundh, happy news for you, when did you order?

I hope the US T61ps ship soon.

I ordered a T61 since 7/22 using 10% eCoupon. Every time I check the order status, it shows this info without specs.

1 7662CT CONFIGURED SYSTEM
08/09/07 $963.90 $963.90
Status: In process Estimated shipping date: 8/9

Now I dont have proof of specs to complain if IBM dont delivery exactly what I customized.

Orderd it the 19th so it took 11 days from order until I got it. Even seems like I got the NMB keyboard, at least if the different versions look the same as for the T60 in this thread:
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=44310

Got it with a T7500, 100 GB 7200 RPM-disk and 2 GB RAM and Vista Ultimate.

What about the order confirmation email?

andyP · #1328 Post by **andyP** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 2:28 pm

Just got an e-mail that the T61p I ordered on the 12 july is going to be delivered tomorrow.

NH36XGE - 6460-6XG
Original description: T7500(2.2GHz), 2GB RAM, 100GB 7200rpm HD, 15.4in 1920x1200 LCD, 256MB nVIDIA Quadro FX 570M, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, 6c Li-Ion, WinVista Ultimate

The bad news is the extra 2GB RAM which I ordered isn't coming with it, I'll have to wait a few days longer.

Count your blessings. I ordered one on the 11th, and I just got an delay notice. Did you order from Lenovo?

EDIT: For anyone else that got their T61p delayed, I called Lenovo, and the guy told me that it's the LCDs that are holding them up. He said they'd ship mine next week.

lundh · #1330 Post by **lundh** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 5:09 pm

Sounds like the European version ship as they should, while the American versions have been delayed. UK, Sweden have had deliveries and soon Germany but none(?) in US.

santalink · #1331 Post by **santalink** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 5:51 pm

My T61p was delayed as well.
Original ship date was 7/30. Now changed to 8/30

I think it's because of the customization available in the US versions. The ones in Europe were probably pre-built.

And my order status shows 8/30 as well, but the guy on the phone said next week.

daemondust · #1333 Post by **daemondust** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 7:19 pm

For what it's worth, my T16p, ordered on July 13, is still showing an estimated ship date of tomorrow. A few days ago the order status page changed from showing all my customizations to just showing "Configured System" and my ultra bay battery in the order.

@Pocket Aces

Did you order from Lenovo?

No not direct, through a wholesale distributor.

I've had a look this morning and they have both the XP and Vista versions in stock.

andyP · #1335 Post by **andyP** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 8:21 am

Well the T61p 6460-6XG turned up as expected.
First impressions are OK, although it feels as though the front right of the thing, (arrow keys side), is higher as the left; there about 1mm of movement when I press down on the corner.
It is definitely quicker than the other T60 and T61 ThinkPads I've had my grubby fingers on, impressively quicker.

jchow · #1336 Post by **jchow** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 2:20 pm

grrr im so angry so i ordered mines on 7/13 and estimated shipping date was 8/01 and about a week ago i realized my same configuration was about 30 sumin dollars cheaper so i rordered one and called to ask about the price difference and whether or not they could pric match and told them to look at my 2nd order he did and was like "o ok ill send a mssage to get it price matched" and i was o ok thanks alot and he said "ill go ahead and cancel that order for you." so i agreed then i asked when i would know if it was price matched "o ull get an email" and i said thanks and i was on my happy way... then 2 days later i was checking the status and my order didnt even come up... -_- they cancelled both ='[ and now i had to reorder and have to wait till 8/23 =[ (ord 7/29)

bitvector · #1337 Post by **bitvector** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 11:53 pm

Well, my 8889CTO T61 (14" 4:3 SXGA+) just shipped. I ordered it on 7/20. So that's less than two weeks from order till it shipped. Not too shabby, but I'll have to wait a few weeks before I can actually get home and play with it since I'm traveling now.

Which part of the Lenovo site did you order from? Mine got delayed until 8/20 from orig. 8/2

epeers · #1339 Post by **epeers** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 11:02 am

I was told on the phone by 2 different reps that my thinkpad was delayed to a usb super wideband component. (Laura & Chris) Not the screen... Ordered on July 13, original ship date, August 1. Yesterday they updated to August 30 without contacting me (even through email). I found out because I've been clicking on the order status three times a day.

I called and sat on hold for 26 minutes before I got a rep. Then I sat on hold again for 5 minutes. Then she wanted to put me on hold again. I told her to call me back. To her credit, I got a call back 30 mins later.

Then I sat on hold again for 3-4 mins, talked to a sales rep, and sat on hold again while he re-researched my problem (3-4 mins). Then he offered me a 512MB memory upgrade. I told him I didn't need it (I already bought 4G at newegg). I counter offered - why not meet halfway on a processor upgrade instead? Then I sat on hold again for another 3-4 mins. His "final offer" was 512MB of ram and a "critical build". But the caveat was that he still couldn't guarantee delivery within 2 weeks.

My interim email communications with Lenovo requesting a rebate for the price difference (it dropped in July) were unsatisfactory. They replied with a stock response without answering my question.

So I cancelled my order. If this is how lenovo deals with customers I don't want to be their customer. I ordered a Dell latitude 830 after I got off the phone with lenovo. Fortunately all the time on hold allowed me to spec out a nice replacement machine.

I just ordered online from the EPP site.

That's weird, because my original ship date was 8/8 and it never got delayed or moved or anything until I got the notice that it actually shipped on 8/1.

mientras · #1341 Post by **mientras** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 4:41 pm

I have four t61p systems on order - they were supposed to ship 8/1. They did not, and now these have a September ship date (all ordered around July 12). Calling them is a frustrating experience, different answers from web site, from their India order status call center, from the automated sent email and from sales. The supervisors are "not available". They do not know when they will ship.

The signs are not good - they do not seem to get their act together. I am searching for alternatives to the lenovo machine. The WSJ has a good review of a multitasking software (FUSION) to run Vista on the Mac without slow downs. Maybe a Dell or a Sony.

Hi,
well its offical! i am a proud owner of a T61

i tried buying it from a sales agent, but had to cancel it as he was telling me end of August! I had ordered the notebook in June! I am really happy with the notebook

i am going to be installing 2gb ram soon!

Thanks bro, I deleted the confirmation but luckily Lenovo sent me another one including shipping time. My belove T61 has arrived this morning but I wasnt home to sign. What should I do.

barrywohl · #1344 Post by **barrywohl** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 7:33 am

I ordered on 12 July with a 31 July estimated ship date. Then, when Lenovo dropped the RAM price, I revised the same order and the ship date slipped to 21 August. Later, I found a coupon that saved me another 11%. So I rebooked on 26 July with new ship date of 28 August and cancelled the order scheduled to ship 21 August. I'm waiting.

On the bright side, by taking advantage of a time limted offer, and by buying RAM after-market, I saved $660 from the 12 July order.

I've already received, from other sellers than Lenovo, my 7K200 drive, 4 gb of Crucial RAM, and a 8 GB Express Card. Come on T61p and join the fun!

stuka · #1345 Post by **stuka** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 5:49 pm

I ordered on the EPP on 7/30, and the ship date is 8/30.

This is for a T61p with 2G RAM, 1G turbo cache, 100G 7200rpm HD, Vista Ultimate 32, ABGN WiFi, Core 2Duo 2.2Ghz, WUXGA.

I really really hope it ships sooner than a month from now.

That's nothing. I ordered one 7/11 and I have the same expected ship date. I know I'm not alone either.

ordered the same T61p on 7/20 and ship date is 8/22.
whats strange is after I placed this order, there was a pending charge on my CC from lenovo. Just checked my CC and there is no pending charge anymore. For some reason they released the money. Now I am worrying that they will cancel my order.

I think they can only reserve the funds for a week or two without actually charging, and they can't charge until they start building/ship.

eecon · #1349 Post by **eecon** » Sat Aug 04, 2007 2:50 am

I ordered web direct on 7/16 a 15.4" T61 6462-CTO highly customized with an original ship date of 8/2.

Price dropped about $40 on 7/19 but the ship date would have gotten pushed back to 8/23, so I let it go as planned for the 8/2 ship date at the higher price (hey, it was only a couple of Andy Jacksons to save 3 critical weeks in delivery time).

The unit shipped on schedule on 8/2 from HK and sits now at customs in Calif per UPS tracking.

Expect to have it early next week .... very impressive.

My CC has not been charged as of tonight .... probably waiting to clear customs first. Let's hope my post delivery experience goes just as well.

My T61 7658-CTO (see p.44 of this thread) shipped yesterday, August 3 (10 days ahead of time), with an estimated arrival date of August 9!

Have you ordered a T6x(p)?Shipping Posts.

cancelled order - 15" t61 - somewhat of a rant.

i just got a T61 from a resaler!
