Oh magically they are going to mail it overnight?? Um sure you had already done that..
They haven't actually said that they did, only had a third party rep say that they "would." No shipping information has been provided.
So they haven't actually provided you a tracking number?

Btw, the thread isn't locked or in moderation.

Why did they think a person wouldn't want it?
Oh they knew that we wanted it. It's an amazing model. Dominica was so excited when she won it.

It's possible they ran out and didn't prepare well with their supplies. Sounds too stupid to be possible but it's very possible.
Nope, they were giving them out to people who won after Dominica. No idea why they told her to "come back for one" and gave them out later to other people.
She mentioned at the conference when they told her to come back and then didn't have one that she suspected one was never actually coming. That wasn't too hard to predict.

No, of course not. Since it's not been shipped yet

That's only because I escalated to Sean and Tabrez about someone locking it to protect Lenovo.

Kinda surprised they didn't anyway since they are a sponsor.

Remember to keep it Professional. Lenovo has already taken a beating today.

Policy is that sponsors are not given any preferential treatment. But there are a lot of community mods who take a strong "never say bad things about a sponsor" approach which, in turn, makes people really upset with the vendors. It does exactly the opposite of what is intended. It's the price of having public moderators without training or strict guidelines and oversight.

I used to like Lenovo... Added to the bad list..
Seriously! Thankfully we have communities like this to find out when things like this happen. In other conventions this would have gone completely unnoticed and there would have been no recourse.

It is physically a great unit. Maybe we will get to play with one soon. Time will tell.

If she doesn't like it... You can sent it to VA

@thecreativeone91 She already gave up her laptop to @FiyaFly in anticipation of switching to this one. We used several Yoga 2 units when prepping for SpiceCorps KC last year. They were really nice. Great size, great features. She was pretty excited to be getting one.

THey are really nice touch screens too.

@StrongBad my other post vanished.

Mike from Lenovo sent me a FedEx tracking number.
