    This is the worst site design I have ever seen. I downloaded the PDF in the sticky of the forum and found several T60 models I am interested in. How the hell do you search by product code? I can only do so under the support section, but not if I'm browsing to purchase a laptop.

    Also, is it possible to customize a laptop like Dell's site, i.e. choose a model and then decide between processors and HDD size, screen size? Doesn't look like it.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    lol! and i thought i was smokin' crack or something! when i looked this AM --- and I LOOKED --- i couldn't even find the T60 or the T60p --- like they yanked them off the Lenovo site (and probably did due to supply chain/logistics issues)???

    that is one TERRIBLE site design and eComm platform! the navigation is moronic! :mad:

    i ended up calling them. seems that there was only one T60 variation on the site (at that time). it got lost in the 'view all products' query listing. have to go to CDW to see any...but they are displaying a 2 week turn-around. ugh.

    What do you mean a 2 week turn around?

    Yeah, it's the worst site I've ever used. How can I find out pricing for a specific product if I have the product code? Do I have to call them?

    they're (CDW) quoting 2+ week shipping - which tells me they're NOT in stock. the product ID codes won't work on the Lenovo site if the units aren't mapped on the eComm platform to display on the site (inventory control). this afternoon they were only displaying a single variation of the T60 --- and not a great one. it's a very 'fluid' inventory/supply chain/logistics situation with these units right now i think.
