    Hi folks,
    Bought a refurb from the outlet today. $597 after taxes, shipped to California:

    Processor Intel® Core™2 Duo P8600 (2.40GHz, 3MB L2, 1066MHz FSB)
    Operating System Genuine Windows Vista Business 32
    Outlet Part Number CA2082XF2
    Condition Refurbished
    Display 15.4” WSXGA+ (1680 X 1050) TFT
    Total Memory 3GB (1GB & 2GB) PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz SODIMM Memory
    Hard Drive 160GB, 7200RPM Serial ATA 2.5" Drive
    Graphics AMD M86M Switchable Graphics 256MB
    Optical Device DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer Ultrabay Slim
    Wireless Intel WiFi Link 5100 (1x2 AGN)
    Mobile Broadband N/A
    Battery 9 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (6.0 Hour Run Time)
    Limited Warranty 1 Year
    Color Black
    Bluetooth Yes
    Integrated Camera No
    Fingerprint Reader Yes
    Keyboard/Pointing Device UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad)
    Manufacturing part number 20828ZU

    Of course, I'll have to budget another 30 bucks to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB. I'm also gonna used the money I saved vs. a new T510 to get an Intel SSD for the Ultrabay.

    Thoughts?
