So I have been eyeing the x40 for some time. I was thinking maybe I could get the x41, but I was discouraged by the price. So I finally go online to order my X40, and god knows why, the order does not go through. So I have to give Lenovo a call and after waiting on the phone for 10 minutes I get to talk.
As I am ordering, I am told by the sales rep that it might take up to 5 weeks to ship my X40. He suggests an X41. And I am thinking to myself, it is not worth paying $500 more for DDR2, 0.1 GHz faster Pentium M, Intel Media Acc. 900, 256MB more integrated ram, and 20 GB more hard disk space. But he tells me that the X41 that he is referring to is only $1429.
I was shocked. This thing is $2199 online. How could that be? I did not ask any questions. I just ordered an X41 for the price of an X40. I am a happy man.
Oh, did I mention I also ordered GB of DDR2 from Newegg for another $100 dollars, instead of IBM's $329.00.
And now with pics here
The last picture is great. The laptop knows when it is sideways and parks the heads. If the shock is continious it just ignores it so you can keep on working.
