    in Chinese Customs - (technically, the Chinese still have control over the shipment because it is considered to be still in China although it is in Kentucky until it clears Customs).

    It is supposedly a full container load (however big a container from a cargo plane is) of laptops/tablets that the Chinese Customs want additional paperwork on before releasing the entire shipment to UPS for delivery to end customers in the USA.

    So, if you're experiencing a delay on your laptop/tablet, this may be the reason why. :(

    Received it today. Fan is noisy when it runs. Machine gets a little warm on the left side, where the fan is. Screnn also has a pattern on the top, that looks like a jigsaw puzzle, looks as though there is something wrong with the screen.

    pattern at the top that looks like a jigsaw puzzle? yeah, that would be an indication of a seriously wrong LCD if that's the case.

    I live in Lexington, KY and got some weird message like this when tracking my order with UPS. The thinkpad arrived in 6 days though -- pretty impressive coming all the way from Hong Kong!
