    I ordered a T400 Friday night (March 20) and I just got a notification this morning (Monday, March 23) that it shipped. I am so amazed. My roommate ordered one on the March 3, and it still hasn't shipped. This is mostly due to the scarcity of the WGXA+ LED screens. I ordered a X61 Tablet like a year and a half ago, and it took almost 2 months to ship.

    I just wanted to post some amazing news. I just hope that everything is good, considering it was built so fast. :eek:

    As I posted in another thread, my high nit T400 shows Natural disaster esception in Hong Kong today under tracking info. Hope nothing happens with your shipment.

    please post some feedback regarding viewing angles/color accuracy and panel manufacturer when you receive the laptop with that panel. I am trying to get as much info as possible about it before ordering one myself.

    Will do Zenit. I ordered mine with standard shipping, so I probably won't get it for another week or so.

    Probably a temporary delay due to the eruption of Mount Redoubt in Alaska - a lot of flights from Hong Kong route via Anchorage and I suspect might be disrupted by the resulting ashfall.

    Could it be that someone canceled an order with the same configuration?

    That's what I was thinking too. Either that or it was prebuilt. That's way too fast for a computer company. My brother bought a Studio XPS 1340 a while back and it took at least a week to build. It has only been a weekend since I ordered my T400. I'm hoping it was just because Lenovo is cool like that. haha. I sent in my X61 last year a day before Christmas, and it came back on the day after Christmas. I was getting my whole chasis replaced. I was shocked too when it came the next morning.

    Update: My T400 just got to Alaska, but it now says NATURAL DISASTER!
    -_-.....There was an estimated ship date on there that stated 3/27/09, but that went down once it passed HK. Strange. I was hoping i'd have a new notebook to play with this weekend but I guess not. What do guys supose is the natural disaster in AK?

    Yeah, I got the NATURAL DISASTER description as well. Honestly, I don't even care that much that my laptop may be delayed another few days. I just think it's awesome that my T400 was just blocked entrance into the continental United States by a freaking volcano.

    Sweet.
