You know, I remember last time when I ordered the X60s when they first came out..... they said that the expected delivery date was more than a month. I ordered it in February and they said i would receive it in April. I actually ended up getting it in 3 weeks. So you never know.. I have an expected delivery date of 4/3.andyP wrote:aaaaaagh #!§% My delivery date is now showing as 31st Mar. instead of the 15th.
ordered my unit today with wwan (directly from lenovo), will update when i receive it.
Shows estimated ship date 4/8/08
Edit: Noticed a small error in my order so called to try and change the order, was told the unit is in the build stage and would need to cancel the order and re-order so i told them to forget the change, expected ship date is now 3/20 but was told it would most likely be sooner.

Ordered 3/7/08
Just ordered mine from Lenovo Direct with IBM EPP.
Standard battery with additional 3-cell battery, website showed 2-3 weeks, but confirmation upon order shows estimated ship date of 4/7/08.
One odd thing, when I click the link to check status, it now shows 4/9/08 only 5 minutes later. Will update here as time goes on.

Me too! Ordered its identical, but more expensive and available, twin sister, the 6477-1ZU, on 3/3. Original shipping date was 4/1 and mine has also shipped today.minehan wrote:Ordered a 6478-1JU on 2/26. Original estimated ship date was 4/11.
I just recieved an email today (3/7) that it has shipped!
Edit1: looking more closely at the somewhat confusing shipping info, it seems that it's only my spare additional ac adapter that has shipped, not the notebook itself...
Edit2: the notebook was shipped immediately thereafter and has just arrived from Hong Kong (on 3/10, three days after the original 3/07 shipping notification, over a weekend no less) and I'm also typing on it right now...

ordered my X300 CTO today (3/10). adding UWB pushed my ship date to 4/10 so we'll see what happens.
update: rebooked my order on 3/17 for a 6478-1HU topseller and it shipped 3/21!
second update: took delivery on 3/27.

I just ordered the 64781JU today from Ingram. It just came in stock today at their Millington warehouse so I snatched it as it was the only one available. Ingram has 3 of the 64771ZU still available. I can't figure out the difference between the JU and ZU but I see the ZU is $400 higher??? D&H had no x300s in stock as of this morning.

specs and warranties are exactly the same. the 6478 is a topseller model but the hardware is no different. weird.craigg wrote:I can't figure out the difference between the JU and ZU but I see the ZU is $400 higher???

There is a 6477-1ZU, but no 6478-1ZU model. Only difference I see is a six cell battery vs. 3 cell battery for the 1JU--although the TABOOK says that both of these models come with a 6-cell battery-looking up the part number on Lenovo.com states otherwise.craigg wrote:I just ordered the 64781JU today from Ingram.

The 6478 series is the Top Seller category, more aggressively priced units vs the 6477 series.

I had looked at the specs on the tabook and it states that both models include the 6 cell battery. If it comes with a 3 cell I'm sure I can get Lenovo to send me a 6 cell since it is a typo. I can't see any other difference between the two models; however the difference in list price is $790. This is very strange even for Lenovo

IBM started this marketing scheme with its Express models back in the day when they wanted to present a competitive product shipped quickly. Lenovo picked up the concept and later changed the marketing reference to TopSeller.craigg wrote:shfawaz wrote:
Identical machines, identical specs, way different pricing points. TopSeller heavily discounted with little margin or profit margins for resellers. Same machine non TopSeller with the same specs leaves margins of 30-40% for resellers to discount as they see necessary.
I don't think the concept ever did anything for IBM or Lenovo. Bottom line, we look at prices and specs, and buy the machine at a price that makes sense.
