Hi!
I am/was thinking to get a Fedora installed Thinkpad (would be my first Linux pre-installed) and the delay is... huge! I'm getting it from the US and see 3+ months, but can't buy it. I have a good friend willing to buy it on my behalf who tells me he sees 7+ months delay.
What's your experience with Lenovo US and the shipment delays?
Thank you.

I bought myself an X1 carbon earlier this May, and the shipping date was December! But it changed to a few weeks after a couple days.
However, at my job we also get Lenovo laptops and I can confirm that time to ship is quite long. It depends on what you included in the order, though.

Thank you! Makes me feel like taking the risk then! Let's be positive right?

That was my attitude too! “Oh, early Christmas present then!” But it worked out.

Ordered and had finally 3+ months delay at payment time.
They just shipped it today! I guess their shipping delay algorithm needs improvements... now wondering if it'll come with Fedora 33 or... 35?
So thank you for your feedback as it helped!
