Sneaky Lenovo. They took away the Ultralight screen on the X61s, and now this!I know most of my peers shrug at the difference between 3 pounds and 2.5, or 6 pounds and 2.5, but if you've lugged hardware around since the days of the "Compaq Portable", every ounce hurts.

The ship date was a week out, and now they just extended the expect ship date by another week. WTF?!?!?This offer would be great if they would actually send the darned things... and my card has already been charged. I ordered one from their outlet – supposedly all boxed and ready to go.
