So your order never had the status "transferred to manufacturing"?
No. Went strait to cancellation within 8 hours after order placement.

Bracing myself for a cancellation.

The Pending Charge for ~$1600 has disappeared from my CC, but my order status remains unchanged: order 7/28, shipping 11/30, arriving 12/7.

I ordered a fully decked Legion 5 Pro Gen 6 16" AMD Premium

Please read some of the earlier posts. Right now this is just a preauthorization hold (the hold should drop off in several business days) and you won't be officially charged for the order until it ships. At that time you can decide whether or not you still want to keep the order. Historically, Lenovo is pretty good with returns. My feeling is that the order will still be worth keeping at the estimated time of shipping even if newer tech comes along (keep in mind that Lenovo laptops equipped with this newer tech may take months to ship out as well).
The same thing happens with ordering from Dell if the shipping time is a couple of weeks or months out from the order date.

Your order may very well be cancelled later on, but the disappearing pending charge does not mean anything by itself for an order with an estimated shipping date months out.

I was operating under the impression that my "Available Credit" would be impacted until it shipped, but I have my full limit available, which I was not expecting.

same thing will happen for almost every merchant like amazon, walmart etc. Nothing is officially charged until they are shipped

I just talked to Customer Service Chat at Lenovo and they said my order for a Storm Gray Legion 5 Pro is shipping tomorrow. My order status page says shipping end of November, but the customer service rep assured me that the shipping date hasn't been updated on my end but will ship tomorrow August 3rd. *Crosses fingers*

Yeah, I've been checking this forum too for any updates. So whether you believe me or not, this was a real conversation with the sales chat.

At first, I asked to change the color to Stingray White, but he told me I would have to cancel the order to do that. I said "no". Then, he told me that my ship date for this order is actually Aug 3rd.

I'm hoping this guy is for real. lol maybe this will give y'all some hope too.

I think the cs rep doesn't know what he's talking about. I have a requested ship date of July 30th and mine hasn't shipped. He's probably thinking of that. Yours might be August 3rd if you didn't use shoprunner. Mine was 2 days because of shoprunner.

Every name is made up. That being said, Jonel is an Asian name.

For anyone wondering about their pre-authorization holds/CC charges and estimates dates of shipment, here's an anecdote of my experience:

I ordered a 2020 Legion 5 (AMD) from Lenovo back in February 27 of this year. The original shipping date was estimated to be October 12, 2021. When I first placed the order, an authorization hold was placed on my CC for 3-4 days. Then it was released.

About 2 weeks later, my estimated shipping date was updated to July (8ish?) and another authorization hold was placed on my CC. Again, the hold was released 2-3 days later, and about a week later another hold was placed and released (without an update on the shipping date).

Finally another week after that (total of 4 weeks after the initial order), I get an email saying my order had just been shipped (March 28) and a final charge was placed on my CC the same day (which didn't post as complete until March 30).

So Lenovo's estimated dates are way off (even according to some Reddit posts). I believe they just put the most conservative estimate they can so they technically can't be blamed if the order doesn't ship sooner. As for the holds, I don't know why they kept triggering on my card even though they weren't actually shipping yet (maybe to check that the card is still valid? otherwise they might cancel the order).

The entire month, my order was also just "Released to Manufacturing" with Line Order # 00010. A couple of times I also contacted them by phone didn't yield any useful info on the shipping dates (the reps I talked to really had no idea as the system is automated).
