    Bing cashback is 3-5%, so might be closer to $403-416

    Lenovo IdeaPad U450
    Intel Pentium Dual Core SU4100 1.3GHz
    3GB DDR3 RAM
    250GB SATA HDD
    DVDRW Drive
    14.0" WXGA TFT
    Gigabit Ethernet
    (33892BU)

    Any input on this dude? Please advise. Thanks in advance...

    Yes, someone mentioned it a day or two ago. To reiterate, the deal seems to be quite nice, although the CPU isn't anything to write home about. It will be very nice for basic office use: browsing the web, word processing, viewing media (should handle 1080p content, as the GMA 4500MHD is capable of HD video decoding), etc.

    ^^^^It is a very solid office choice, I agree. The price is unreal IMHO.

    Where can I get feedback for this machine?

    Here is a user review of lenovo U450P although this model has different specs. Battery life lasts longer on this particular model with SU4100 because of the Intel integrated Graphics Card compared to ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 512MB in the review.
