How to buy a specific model?

#1 Post by ThinkPad 770 » Thu Jan 15, 2009 10:05 am

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

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)
X220t IPS but but a bit unhappy with it
T60p 2007-93U 1600x1200 IPS (T42p is an overall better machine though. Lack of new IPS Thinkpads keeps me buying these older models!)
T42p 2373-KXU 1600x1200 IPS (The best ever!!)
A20p 2629-6UU 1400x1050 (My first Thinkpad!)
