    Just ordered my T400 with a nice 20% off coupon. Got a loaded T400 for about $800. I choose W7 64 bit as my OS as this one will come with 4 gb of ram. Does lenovo give me a full W7 disc, or the lame restore style stuff?

    You'll have the recovery disks to burn. Still, that's a good deal, especially if it's really loaded.

    Well its loaded somewhat. The only thing I skipped on was the battery. I just got the 4 cell. I hate the way the 6 and 9 cell stick out plus the weight it adds. I get about 2 hours out of the 4 cell, that's fine for me...
