    I looked at some options on the tabook (particulalry the Z61t) and I found some options on there that are not on the Lenovo website when customizing (i.e. bluetooth). Can I order computers that are on the tabook? How do I do it? How long will it take to ship? How do I know the price? I am a student at UCLA...can I buy the education thinkpads?

    Not every model in the book is still stocked or sold (especially for the T42 and T43 for example... but many/most of the Z61t's should be available).

    When you know what model you like, call and ask for its inventory status... dont trust the online website - there is stuff that says "8-10 days" which in fact may have 150 in stock.

    If your timeline is tight and/or you really need it, i would only order someting in stock if possible... Lenovo's delays on not-in-stock product is discouraging (read these forums to see people waiting several weeks and longer).
