FS: Brand new Thinkpad x61s 12" Ultraportable laptop

Thread Starter 
Monday evening I received this unit and realized I had mistakenly ordered this model instead of the tablet PC version I wanted. Selling it at cost to save myself the 15% restock fee. Has been booted up (when I realized it wasn't the tablet) but otherwise not used. All original packaging and manuals. No dead pixels on the screen. GREAT keyboard.

Here are the details, please e-mail me with any questions.

7668CTO ThinkPad X61s
Intel Core2 Duo L7700 LV 1.8GHz, 4MB cache, 800MHz fsb
12.1" XGA ultralight chasis with UltraConnect II antenna
2GB PC5300 RAM
100GB SATA 7200 RPM hard drive
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
Vista Business
Trackpoint with fingerprint reader

Upgraded 2 year depot next day business warranty.

Used several coupons and got a great price of $1200, which is all I'm asking, plus shipping (or free if you are in the Hampton Roads, VA area)

did you buy it from a store, or from Lenovo itself?

Back in 2004, I bought a T41P, and within 2 weeks there was a better T42P at a lower price. I called the guy up I ordered it from at IBM, and they let me return it for the T42P. (Plus, it had a 30 day return period, which I was certainly within).


There's a chance that if you call them up and tell them you ordered the wrong part, and that you'd like to place the order for the correct one they'd wave a restocking fee.


Otherwise, bump for you. I'd love to take it, I just can't swing the money.

Bought direct from Lenovo. Called and got the full Lenovo customer experience; they were firm on a return would include a restock fee. Can't say I blame them; from their perspective its just another return. But honestly, as a web developer the only thing I can think happened is I was comparing different builds and I must have clicked on the different model. Its not like there is a big distinction on their pages between the X61 Tablet and the X61s. Just means I need to sit tight until I can sell the lappy.

Seems customer service has slipped a bit in these 3.5 years.

Yesterday I called Lenovo again to see if a different rep would make a difference. It didn't. They justified their restock fee because they felt "its nearly impossible someone would want your exact configuration of computer". Right, whatever. But I only have until the 21st before initiating a return. I'd hate to lose $200 in restock but I'd rather get what I want and be happy to keep it for years.
