@aral I think they should ship them w/o any OS but have a "recovery partition" from where you can download and install the OS of your choice -
@FredericJacobs That’s cool for enthusiasts. As a consumer I have the option of buying a gorgeous computer that works out of the gate… -
@aral But what if it's a machine that can run many different operating systems? -
@aral I would like to buy it in the shop without having to worry about what OS is preinstalled on that device. -

@aral neither did the X240's page, before it was released out here. your point? -
@FrozenFire My point? It’s one of three models listed on their site without even a note that it isn’t available. Looks like site is broken. -
@aral UX could be better I suppose, but this is more of an 'upcoming'/announcement -
@FrozenFire This is the page that leads to it: http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/ … — nothing there about it being an announcement. Horrible experience. -
@aral Yep, agreed on horrible UX — but the absence of a buy button is because it's simply not for sale yet -
@FrozenFire In which case,@lenovo, state it so that people don’t check on multiple devices just to see if your mobile site is broken! :)

@AJKandy Is it? I couldn’t find it. On two platforms. -
@aral ‘where to buy’ blue button top right, then first option is ‘buy direct from lenovo’ - their product and sales pages are decoupled. -
@AJKandy You’re fucking kidding me… *goes to try*
