    Well I think I finally found the t60 that I was looking for. I wanted to ask you guys who have bought a t60 from cdw, are the shipping estimated days somewhat accurate?

    I am planning on purchasing this one:

    I have bought things from CDW, but not a notebook. They were decent with shipping times. I think CDW now charges tax on everything. You can get the 200746U a few hundred cheaper here.

    I just had a bad Thinkpad ordering experience with Euclid. They claimed to have the model in stock, took my order and said it would ship THAT day "guaranteed". 3 days later it had not shipped, and they told me that the price was not correct, that it was actually about $400 higher!! I cancelled, and had to hound them for a week or so to process a credit card refund (they had already charged the card.)
    Here is the bottom line on Euclid, IMHO:
    1.) They "claim" low prices. If you do price searches on Pricegrabber, Pricescan, Froogle, etc. for ANY Thinkpad model, Euclid will come up 9 times out of 10 as the merchant with the lowest price. I think they do this intentionally so that they get the "low price" hits.
    2.) They have BAD ratings on resellerratings.com and most of their bad negatives are for botched Thinkpad purchases. They have decent ratings on other rating sites, not sure why.
    3.) I had a bad experience. I personally would look elsewhere.

    I can't argue your expierence, but Euclid has good ratings on Pricegrabber.
