    So that was fast...it has only been about a week since the last 48 hour sale and another one is currently on going and ending in about 21 hours. So after configuring it with these specs.......

    (Canada)
    T400
    P8600 2.4 ghz (I don't know if T9300 is necessary)
    4 gigs ram
    250 gig 5400 (Should I go for 7200rpm?)
    bluetooth
    Intel 5300 wireless
    HD3470
    LED 14.1 WXGA+
    Camera
    Fingerprint reader
    6 cell battery

    =$1480 CDN + Tax (Saving of 280$...originally $1760

    Is this the best I can do? Are these 48 hour sales pretty much the best they offer or can I do better if I wait?

    lol I just checked the site and the pricing seems to be on par with other models with the same specs.

    I was playing around and I had similar specs only difference was that I went for 3 gigs of RAM, 4 cell battery. Wireless adapter not sure which would be good so I chose the middle one.

    It's roughly the same price as the LG P300 available now but I think the video card is better on the Lenovo. (i'm not sure better check it out yourself)

    If I didn't already have the P300 I would probably have jumped on that deal.
