    Is Lenovo make a boo boo with pricing?

  • mookie3three on 16/11/2011 - 11:58
    +1

    I'm guessing that's price error

    • redfox on 16/11/2011 - 12:00

      Probably, but they might just be cutting the price because of the pending release of their ultrabook?

      • mantoh on 16/11/2011 - 12:18

        The website mentioned something about ThinkPad X220 pre-built laptops and not customisable..

  • homersyd on 16/11/2011 - 11:59

    how much do they normally cost?

    • blackrider89 on 16/11/2011 - 12:02

      Round 1000 I reckon?

      • Withdr4wn on 16/11/2011 - 12:08

        Closer to $2,500. Side note, can any one add it to a cart?

        • blackrider89 on 16/11/2011 - 12:18

          They have already deducted the amount from my bank account.

          Item is not available for site:auweb; :000000AE:0000CA9D:

        • mrshorty on 16/11/2011 - 12:58

          says its valued at $2,562.15 but is it actually worth that much?

        • Withdr4wn on 16/11/2011 - 13:40
          +2

          @mrshorty: ThinkPad series (i.e. non Edge) are reknown in the industry for being particularly reliable, fantastic build quality, the "black" look, the keyboard / trackpoint, warranties etc… They have always been incredibly pricey, and targeted mainly at corporate / business users.

          This doesn't mean that they don't die, by the way, just stating the perception of the industry in general. I'll leave my personal opinions aside :)

          I believe they are worth ~$2,500, of-course if you are after the "features" that only Lenovo offer in the "X" Series. For most though, I'm tipping the casing, keyboard, build quality, weight etc… of a low to mid range HP / Dell / Asus etc… (which this is pretty much spec'd as) is not a priority worth spending an additional $1,500-$2,000 on.

          So of course, when a deal comes up for ~$480 with what I believe is a superior quality machine over the equivalently priced offerings, even I'd impulse purchase one. :)

      • Mikinoz on 16/11/2011 - 15:31

        Unfortunately they arnt a quality build/product as they used to be (pre x200) although having said that i am using one now.

    • blackrider89 on 16/11/2011 - 13:08

      It's worth round 1000 coz in the US they are selling it for 900 bucks sth.

  • BobTheDragon on 16/11/2011 - 11:59

      I think they've stuffed it up even more. Initially, the link provided by the OP states the X220 w/ Quickship was ~$1000.

      Now it's $487, but still receiving the same error.

    • Brooklyn99 on 16/11/2011 - 12:33

      Nice one. Congratulations on a great bargain!

    • sweefu on 16/11/2011 - 12:34

      really? Lenovo told me it was a pricing error, and they would probably not be honouring it.

      • rob2014 on 16/11/2011 - 12:36

        I called up asking to buy another one (Xmas present!) and they said they sold out.

        So we will see what happens.

        • sweefu on 16/11/2011 - 12:37

          fingers crossed mate - awesome deal if ya got one!

    Cool. I bought it and seleced to pay via Direct Deposit. Does anyone know if it has Express Shipping because on the main page it indicated express, but on the check out there was only standard shipping. Coz i'm going on holiday in 12 days and need it asap haha

    but if you quick ship it, then its

  • infinity89 on 16/11/2011 - 13:04

    ok back from my call. The lady said all stock sold out, those whose order went through will probably get a call from a sales representative with an offer for a "standard configuration" with their previous order cancelled. Time to see if i get a call haha

    • Turd on 16/11/2011 - 13:05

      When did they "Sell out"?

    • blackrider89 on 16/11/2011 - 13:06

      So we have to buy some more rubbish to get this deal honoured rite?

  • murkywater on 16/11/2011 - 13:11

    It's a price error, not sold out. Check the website again, it's back for $1052.

    • blackrider89 on 16/11/2011 - 13:29

      Actually it's the 1150 sth…

  • anthony on 16/11/2011 - 13:13

    It still shows up here http://shopap.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/auweb/Leno…

    The website says

    Quickship! ThinkPad X220
    Get it Fast! Free Express Shipping on ThinkPad X220 pre-built laptops

    So the deal was probably real and Lenovo wanted to clear a batch of pre built laptops at a discounted price.

    • Dealayed on 16/11/2011 - 13:25

    OK so refreshed page gives a ThinkPad Edge i3 for $449 with more storage (500gb) bigger screen (15.4). So why isnt this better? is it because of the weight? it is customizable to move up to a i5 for a few dollars more. Any thoughts?

    • sweefu on 16/11/2011 - 13:24

    A high end laptop with no hdmi?

    • duck in cave on 16/11/2011 - 13:36

      You are right. Not all the people need HDMI with a netbook size laptop. How often do you use your HDMI port?

      • scrimshaw on 16/11/2011 - 13:43

        I use the VGA port more than I use the HDMI port. Mostly because all the projectors and smartboards at uni all use VGA…

      • A Banana4scale on 16/11/2011 - 13:44

        I'd say everyday, Notepadd++ on one screen,

      • A Banana4scale on 16/11/2011 - 13:44

        and Android emulator on the other. But the same could be done via VGA as well. If you did want to watch a youtube tutorial or any video lecture, HDMI is pretty useful if your monitor already has speakers

    • Withdr4wn on 16/11/2011 - 13:43

      It does have a DisplayPort though - You can get an adapter from DisplayPort to HDMI. I currently use a DisplayPort to DVI adapter at work on a ThinkPad.

    • anthony on 16/11/2011 - 13:48

      Display port does Digital video which is the same as DVI and HDMI

      You can get an adaptor or cable for $10-15

  • viggenn on 16/11/2011 - 13:32

    My order status has changed from "Processing" to "Submitted" seems like its going backwards??
