    Depends on which state you reside, but if it where my state, it'd be about $700 on a $10k notebook. The $700 is what I'm willing to spend these days on a notebook.

    that is not bad...

    @Zaz basically you get the bonus laptop that comes with the top spec W701ds.... or you can take the second LCD from the W701ds.

    Now that I've been using my X200 for a while, I'm not inclined to get something bigger.

    Sure thing, I can see if I can get that expense to go through. Oh, except I live in MA and tax free weekend is next weekend -- maybe, the governor still hasn't signed off on it so it remains to be seen.

    Hey, at least those of us in the U.S. don't have any national sales tax or VAT whatever they call it. I have family in the UK and electronic goods and especially computers are so much more there, mainly due to VAT.

    @Andrew, the price of goods in Europe cost more not only due to VAT, even the base price of system with no VAT or Tariff added is still higher.
