    the x200 costs an arm and a leg and only can have 3GB RAM...

    EDIT: Fade To Black: I was indicating the x200 and such. I was in a hurry typing because I had to put away my comp. but still I am excited.

    How about reading this first page again?
    "Lenovo Thinkpad W series now on Lenovo USA website"
    "T400 / T500 / W500 Up!"

    I guess that you're a little late.

    I think the webpage has some errors. The Intel T9600 is 225$ cheaper than the T9400.

    Also, u can only upgrade ur ram to 3 gb.

    And this laptop cost my arm and a leg and a eye. (I can keep the eye if somebody tells me that there's a coupon on the web.)

    If you switch it to 64 bits OS, you'll see a 4GB RAM option.

    Does Lenovo have price guarantee like HP? HP credits back up to 21 days I think.

    There's the 10% coupon through the Educational site - go to lenovo.com and select Government & Education.

    Fatwallet is offering 4% cash back.

    Search Fatwallet for other ways to save a few bucks.

    Yeah, but when I looked at it, the system would have cost ~$2100 instead of $1800. I didn't feel like fronting the extra $300 for no guarantee of cash back. If Fatwallet flubs it for some reason I'm in no worse shape than through other avenues.

    That 10% coupon didn't work for me. It says 'on selected...' so I don't think it applies on new models.

    USXBACKTOSCHOOL works if you do NOT go through Fatwallet but instead go directly to lenovo.com and into the government/education section and select a school.

    It does not work through Fatwallet -- but if you compare the final prices it seems like going through FW has the coupon already applied.

    My school is not listed on there so I clicked 'if you cannot find your school..' Could that be why? The link to 'if you cannot...' is not working for me right now so I cannot check.

    My school is an Apple friendly school so I think that's the reason why they do not carry Lenovo.

    If by any chance should those coupon work, would I be able to get 10% off on my already placed order?

    I don't know but if you've already placed the order I'd say your best best is call customer service / sales and see what they can do. I don't imagine the website will let you do anything.
