    Hey,

    I really wanna buy a T61 but I dont have an american credit card...I could manage to provide an american shipping address, but I only have a german or a bermudian credit card. Is there any way to order for the great prices on the Lenovo web page?

    Can I use something like Paypal / Google Checkout?

    Are there any dealers that allow international credit cards but have the same good prices?

    THankyou for your help already!

    Do you live in the states? Get a card then, or have a friend order it for you

    T61 does not have international warranty as for example T60. Do you still want it?

    Wouldn't the cost be more with tax+tariff? This is assuming that you can purchase this from a reseller in US.

    The €-$ exchange rate is heavily in favour of the Europeans at the moment (€1 == $1.34)...with the coupons, discounted sale prices and the exchange rate, he stands to save a lot for a high spec machine!!

    Yea, its for the exchange rate plus IBM is really expensive in Europe. Well, if I have to order from Euclid, can I change the Vista Business to Vista Home Premium? Cuz I need the multimedia features!

    I guess that you then have to order the one with Ultimate.

    Yes, Euclid is cheaper than buying in EU.
