    Repost of this thread (because I found out later that the sub-forum was not meant for X130e)

    Hi all,
    I want to buy Thinkpad X130e and get it shipped to a place in CA before 12th of June. I saw a product on Amazon that has a good price and also ships quick. The link is: Amazon.com: Lenovo ThinkPad X130e 062223U 11.6-Inch LED Notebook - Dual-Core Fusion E-450 1.65GHz 320GB HDD 4GB DDR3 - Matte Black: Computers & Accessories

    However, the technical description of this product lists the processor as: AMD Mobile Athlon 4 Processor 1.65GHz. I am not sure which processor it is, and if it is worth buying. I was looking for another AMD processor (like the product title saysL Fusion E-450). Do you think it is a mistake as I have not seen an X130e with this processor, or does it look fishy to you?

    Also, is it a good idea to order from Amazon rather than from Lenovo? Lenovo's shipping dates are something in the order of weeks while Amazon ships it in a few days.

    Your help will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    The X130e does in fact come with the AMD E-450 processor, and not an Athlon. It might be a mistake made by Amazon when listing the product.

    Amazon, or an reseller that Amazon partners with; either are good choices to buy from. Lenovo's ship[ping times aren't actualy very bad; I had my W520 shipped within nine days of placing my order (standard shipping).
