    Hi all,

    As you all know, the x120e is finally out, I think I found a buyer for my m11x and am going to be ordering my x120 the second I have cash in hand or hope to anyways. I have been reading a few threads about bargaining, usually with Dell, has anyone had any luck bargaining with Lenovo? Any good tips or experiences people care to share with me? Will the low price of the laptop make it much more difficult to get a deal? I really can't spend more than 600 dollars, but I always purchase some sort of accidental damage warranty.

    there is no bargaining. you put in whatever eligible discount or coupon codes that you have and you pay whatever the final price is.

    if you want to bargain, go to ebay, craiglist, or a reseller.

    Not necessarily. With Dell, it's actually quite easy to get an extra discount if you call in and have some bargaining tact. Complete the order over the phone for that additional discount.

    Haven't heard of people doing the same thing successfully with Lenovo, but it doesn't hurt to try.

    It helps to say you are ordering immediately, and you were looking at competitors products and you would prefer Lenovo.

    Well I just ordered, I'm not really good at bargaining or smooth talking people but I did say I wanted to purchase both a 3 and 6 cell, she told me I could purchase a 6 cell for 149, I saw they offered a 6 cell with purchase for 99 and she discounted the laptop 5% which, isnt much, but is something. I got it for just over my goal of 600 after tax. I am so excited! It doesn't ship until the 14th though!!!! AHHHHHHH hahaha, oh well it will be awesome.
