Then I would expect that you will receive your new ThinkPad in a few days, if not sooner. You will need to be present to sign for it, upon delivery.

I feel like I wanna Dance with Joy.

Ah.... yes, there's nothing quite like a new ThinkPad!

Posting this from my R51. When it came time to replace this laptop last year, I bought one of Dell's new E series Latitudes. I liked it (mainly for its Thinkpad-like style) but the body started cracking around the screen... not very durable. As it turns out, the Dell and my wife's older Toshiba were both stolen recently, so we spent our insurance money on two new Thinkpads.

Anyone ordered a T400s recently who can share their order/shipping/received dates?

Is this config worth the $? I've been waiting for deals for like 2 weeks...I was configuring a T400 for fun this morning and I saw a banner that says something like "First 300 customers to call gets 20% off"
I figured 20% off is better than cpp so I jumped on this deal

Seeing some members got it in couple days make me can't wait

I just place my order for a T400 yesterday (8/3) at about 4:00 PM Central Time, but I'm starting to get worried about when Lenovo will begin to build my laptop and have it shipped out lol. Classes are starting soon and I hope to be receiving my laptop within about 10 days. After reading a lot of these posts some people are having to wait a long time and face delays while others are getting it within 10 days, which is worrying me because Lenovo still hasn't billed me yet. I know it's still early, but I guess I'll have to be patient and see! The estimate ship date is 8/13. Anyone else recently ordered a T400? Anyone know if a specific part is causing delays? Thanks!

@cheetahz - I ordered it on July 31st and estimate ship date is 8/12 Probably something will happen by the end of this week

Yea I hope somehng will happen. I really don't want to wait 4+ weeks to get a laptop. I just checked my status now and nothing. The worst part is my iPhone is pretty much my computer right now lol. It's not that bad, but I prefer a laptop! Lol

Doubt it would take 4+ weeks
By the way mine just shipped! LENOVO shipment confirmation xxxxxx

Yea! I just got a shipping confirmation too! I was worried that it would take forever, but so far so good right now! I'll post again if something new happens!

Did you get a tracking number yet? I'm still waiting

No. No tracking number here for me too. I'm still waitng for that too. I spoke with a Lenovo representative and they said I should receive a tracking number within 2 business day after I received that email. It's been more than 2 business day and I haven't seen anything. I've read on a forum that some people receive the laptop before they even receive the tracking number. I guess we'll have to call in to check the status or just wait it out and see.

I just received another email from Lenovo stating that it's just been shipped.

Edit: I just checked the status and it said shipped on 8/8/09, but no tracking yet. I'll check tomorrow morning to see if there is a tracking number! I'm so excited!

Same here! I got another shipping confirmation email and got a tracking number on order status page.
From what I see on another forum...the first shipping conformation is for the privacy filter
