FYI: Lenovo / Thinkpads Suck in Customs
If you, like me, have ordered an IBM Thinkpad (er, Lenovo) recently, and have noticed that it's stuck somewhere in Ontario, CA – you're not alone. I called to ask what was going on and was told that it's stuck in Customs. Yeah, apparently there's a Customs agency in Ontario (where I'll be for the upcoming Podcast Expo, FWIW). Kinda strange that IBM/Lenovo didn't tell me this was happening, as they're typically pretty dilligent in letting folks know what's going on. The IBM/Lenovo rep says that they hope to have the units en route within the next one to two business days. Despite this setback, I still believe that IBM has the best service and hardware out there today – business class or home. I can't honestly recommend another laptop over IBM/Lenovo.
