    WOW, really? Oh man that's not good. I just placed my order yesterday. I hope that's not the norm.

    Wow. Great. Just Great.
    Now the price difference is even bigger compared to the virtually non-configurable Thinkpads sold in the Netherlands...
    An X200s (with the same specs) is a feckin' $600 more expensive here!!!!!!!!!!!

    Price discrimination is just a fact of business.

    And haxz0r...lenovo could definitely revamp their ordering process/web portal.
