    After looking over the new Thinkpads and Lattitudes, I think the D830 is an obvious choice for me. The question is; how long will it take to deliver?

    I didn't see any estimate delivery times on their website.

    Thinkpads say 1-2 weeks, but that's their usual BS.

    Just got an email confirmation on est ship date for D830 - ordered 05/09, est ship date 06/10, canceled 05/10. No way do I wait for a month for a laptop. Guess I'll call Lenovo. No wonder Dell's market share is falling behind HP, Lenovo, etc.

    Worse yet, when I called to cancel the order, they told me the reason for the delay is because I'm actually placing a PRE order because they won't start building this model for another couple of weeks.

    I immediately told them that they should SPELL that out on the website and not force you to place an order before getting a ship date.
