Yes the Haswell CPU is spec are very impressive running at 10watts. I heard that it will be out Q2 2013 with limited volume and full volume Q3-Q4 2013. This chip will change the demand and design of ultrabooks.

If price is your deciding point then you might have to wait a 1 year. But 3rd gen intel chips might drop in price as the new 4th gen chips come out...

US Lenovo has the same TP twist but the 256 SSD option is never there.

Maybe the guy in charge is on vacation and this will slip by.

Never know till we get it. Even if it ships out there is no guarantee that it won't get intercepted back to their facility in GTA.

Looking at the x220 price error debacle thread, people who ordered it on the April 27th got the cancellation email on the 29th, if this was a normal time of the year I expect to get the cancellation email today or tommorow. This is quite a thrill, the mystery of what will happen makes the deal so much more appealing.

Yes apparently. I called the cs line, they can give no explanation as to what the supposed fraud is. Would I like to reorder? No thanks, I'll take my $ elsewhere. Was looking forward to this laptop which was more than I needed but not with this hassle. It was a torture even ordering it in the first place their website had so many hiccups. I suspect the fraud detection picked up on the fact that I tried to do this purchase with one account. On the submit order page, it crashed, couldn't get anyone to determine if an order had gone through or not. Couldn't then log into that account. Resetting the password did nothing, repeatedly. Created another account, same details, different login name but everything else the same. Order went through fine, canceled days later.

HP Envy 6 1080ca now ordered instead from Staples. It will more than meet my needs and saved me $300.

What did you expect, did you think it was likely any company would let you get away with this massive price error? There is less than 1 in 10 chance something like this ever goes through.

I don't know if you are directing this at me, but I didn't order anything with a massive price error. I ordered a Y500 which had the same price for weeks, still has the same price today.

The Y500 wasn't a price error, this is a lenovo screw up, I ordered 2 Y500s fine (one is going back though).

There is still hope for the twist.
