Yeah, I'm interested in the IdeaPad too.. but just wanted to wait for a confirmation from others before buying.
Has anyone bought their IdeaPad yet? Any thoughts on it?

What you heard is consistent with my information. You've got a pretty clear course of action anyhow -- if it somehow tops our exclusive (doubtful), you can cancel your order as a last resort.jkides wrote: ↑I just called Lenovo, the sales rep never heard of price-matching, and certainly not anything with a duration of 2 weeks.
I asked if I ordered today, what would be my options if a better deal came up on Boxing Day. She said you could cancel your order. The worst case scenario is if they already manufactured it, and in that case you would wait to receive it and return it - at no charge. Then order the Boxing Day deal.
Considering her info says the Boxing Day deal is going to be 35%, I think I'll use the RFD coupon today. I'm posting this as info for other RedFlagers to know what's involved and make the best decision for them.
Any official info (from RFD moderator or Lenovo) could help us all.

You can only cancel the order if it not ship yet... If they send you email saying Lenovo is shipping your order, you can't cancel anymore... You have to receive and return it... They will charge you 15% restocking fee... So only buy at Lenovo if you absolutely want the product...jkides wrote: ↑I just called Lenovo, the sales rep never heard of price-matching, and certainly not anything with a duration of 2 weeks.

You made 1 mistake with your order...a89aries wrote: ↑Wow great deal guys!
Honest to god I was going to buy my laptop last week from lenovo but got busy and put it off. Last week I priced the laptop at $2200. Tonight I just ordered it with the RFD coupon.
I could get the same laptop for $1600 in the US, so I was going to dive over the border to pick it up. I just bought it here in Canada for cheaper than the US price. Thank you Lenovo/RFD for saving me from driving to the US and dealing with border people!

You should of went with 1 DIMM... then you could have upgraded if need be. now they are giving you 2 x 2GB modules instead of 1 x 4GB...
They were the same price I believe....
