    Hello all,

    Lenovo is currently offering an additional 10% discount called "Buy more, save more" savings for all ThinkPad T series (T400, T500, T61) notebooks, which is also valid for CPP purchases. The discount is automatically applied when you add any ThinkPad T series notebook to your shopping cart.

    Now, before tax prices (free ship) for the default configurations after the CPP & 10% discounts are:

    T400 (Integrated): $739.49 - $73.93 = $665.56
    T400 (Discrete): $803.24 - $80.31 = $722.93
    T500 (Integrated): $757.98 - $75.78 = $682.20
    T500 (Discrete): $1112.65 - $111.25 = $1001.40
    T61: $759.71 - $75.93 = $683.78


    Enjoy! :D

    EDIT: It seems the deal is officially dead. I find it very weird that Lenovo updated the website right after I posted this. Anyhow, here's what the shopping cart should have looked like:

    Wow, thanks a lot! I was just about to buy it the other day, but decided to hold off for a little while longer. Glad I did!

    do they price match? they still havent shipped mine but i'd like the new price.

    i wonder if they'll change the price if i call them...

    anyway, theyre closed now but i'm calling them first thing tomorrow. i either want the discounted price or i want them to bump me up to the T9600 because this discount sort of offsets the premium for that.

    You do have price protection for 21 days after your order. You should be ok since you're under 3 weeks.

    Hopefully another deal comes around when Wimax and Intel Anti Theft is out. Supposedly Intel Anti Theft will include the GPS chip so I may not need to add the AT&T card to add the GPS capability.

    I want a loaded notebook. :)

    anyone have any indication when WiMax and/or Intel Anti Theft is supposed to be as an available option (I am actually looking at the x301 or X200s)? all I hear is Q4, which doesnt mean too much.

    I personally haven't heard any hard dates from anyone on exactly when these options will be release. I'm sure Lenovo will have it available when they get their first shipment.
