    I found a Thinkpad that I want on PCConnection.com, and I was wondering if they were a reliable site, or if I should just stick to the IBM site.

    You may want to look on Pricegrabber.com, you may find it cheaper. I've always found CostCentral.com to be one of the lowest priced for preconfigured ThinkPads. Like a lot of internet retailers there are no return so I'd make sure it is what you want before you buy. IBM has 30 day return policy. They also have student and credit card promotions if you qualify. Good Luck.






    I was robbed by a sweet little old lady on a motorized cart and I didn't even see it coming.

    They're not always the cheapest (though they're usually competitive), but in my opinion they're easily the best computer/electronics retailer in the business. I've bought literally tens of thousands of dollars of hardware and software from them through the years and I've never had a single problem. They ship next on many items until 2 a.m. Eastern time; readily accept returns; and are always easy to reach by phone and e-mail. Trust me, assuming it's in stock, you'll get your ThinkPad much more quickly from them than from IBM!

    We've bought several machines from them, they're quite solid.
