    Hi,

    I am located in the UK and having had a good looks at the T60's prices that Lenovo US is doing on their website, I have realised there is a HUGE difference in prices between the different EU market and the US one (for an example the UD0FDUK is at £880.00 (that is £1,034.00 with VAT) whereas the equivalent on the US website is at £ 660 or so and £ 776.25 with the UK VAT). Even with a shipping cost of a £ 100, it is still cheaper than to buy from the UK Website.

    Do anyone knows how to buy from the Lenovo US website outside the USA ?

    I am looking for this spec:

    ThinkPad T60p Series - 1 Yr Depot Warranty
    2613CTO $1,808.00
    Integrated WiFi wireless LAN: Integrated Wi-Fi Wireless a/b/g
    Bluetooth: Integrated Bluetooth PAN
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7200 (2.0GHz, 4MB L2, 667MHz FSB)
    Operating system: Genuine Windows XP Professional
    Operating system language: Genuine Windows XP Professional US English
    Display type: 14.1 SXGA+ TFT
    System graphics: ATI Mobility Fire GL V5250 256MB
    Total memory: 1 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz SODIMM Memory (1 DIMM)
    Keyboard: Keyboard US English
    Fingerprint reader: Integrated fingerprint reader
    Pointing device: UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad)
    Hard drive: 80 GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm
    Optical device: DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer, Ultrabay Slim
    Ethernet: Integrated 1Gb Ethernet
    Wireless cards: ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe US/EMEA/LA/ANZ
    Battery: 6 cell Li-Ion Battery
    Power cord: Country Pack North America
    Modem cable (RJ-11): PSTN cable
    Language pack: Language Pack US English

    that spec turn out to be at £ 1 089.65 at the current exchange rate (that is a quote) and including the VAT previously mentioned.

    Regards

    Tam

    Lenovo's US site will not ship outside the US. If you know someone who lives here you could have them buy it then ship it to you, but you may have warranty issues unless of course you get the international warranty.

    This might be of help... Have never used it myself as I've got a courier service here in Singapore which provides the same service.

    You still must pay for it which can cause problems.
