Makes sense, I never bought from Lenovo directly (mine's a refurb), but I wouldn't be surprised to learn Lenovo started doing it before Dell.

Without researching it, I'm not sure who did it first, but I have a feeling it was Lenovo.

I've also never ordered from them directly either, imo a brand new T series ThinkPad is a horrible investment, I just let someone else lose the thousands and pick up a year old barely used on the second hand market for (I'm in Australia) 1.5k - 2.5k less than retail typically.
