Lenovo laptops with i7 - Thinkpads and or IdeadPads

[ausmike]

Hi Everyone,

I am bit pe..ved off, as i been chasing this (blah!) Company for info re: release of i7 Series laptops that we (@work) can test one of the MAJOR FEATURES that we are very keen to TEST = intels V2 technology.
As a SIZE, i know we not the biggest out there, but have have over 2500 IBM/Lenovo laptops in use over our networks at anyone time...... ME being somewhat biased for IBM/Lenovo hardwares for sometime, and being vindicated for choosing this 'brand' purely on their 'lack of breakdown/repair' as compared to the other NAME BRAND that everyone else seems to be pushing ... starting with D....& H

I have been told by various people and our REP even told us - NOPE ...wont be until MARCH 2010..... Blah blah ,,,

GUESS WHAT .....................BLAH BLAH ,,,

**********************************
EVEN MORE CRAZY PART .........

1) Its on SPECIAL PRICE with 200$ off with at this site.
2) Lenovo's OWN site as at writing of this review, didnt OFFER ANY i7 option for any Thinkpads nor Ideapads.
3)Must be a nice way to let down its loyal user base and lenvo brand users by sending confusng and conflictingf informations.
4)Seems noone , not even so called' head-office' honcho's really seem to know what , where when whats coming ...suprise suprise " edge" and X100. GREAT !!!! loved the MT models !!
5) lessons learned = call major e-tailers for best info !! (Newegg been very helpfull!!)

Sorry pples for my frustations ,,,,, but I am letting off some steam at this page ,,,, but CES is/ has been a BLAST as usual !! yes Harry U can delete this post !!

happy new year everyone !
