    Ok So I confgured a T60p for 1539.60 at about 3.30pm today.
    As of 5.30pm the price increased to 1699.50!

    The guy told me that if I provide proof of the price 1539.60 he can sell it to me for that price, and luckily I have a screenshot!
    Tomorrow first thing in the morning he will call me at work.

    I have double checked everything and am 100% sure.

    This is for the T60p T7400 14.1" SXGA

    I noticed this just now on the student configuration site. My configured T60p went up from $1356 to $1440, both after taxes. Luckily I saved my quote of the former price.

    Now I only wish they'd have a payment option to take 2 CC cards. Anyone know if I can call in and order via my quote, paying with 2 cards?

    So on Friday I was ready to order my 15" IPS T60 configured exactly how I wanted for around $1300...

    Then I ended up in the emergency room and I had the **** laptop on my mind half of the time, I was really excited about ordering it. I even joked on a phone call with a friend that by the time I got out the great price might be gone.

    Now I was just released from the Hospital and see that the configuration I wanted (or anything similar) is no longer available through the student site. Oh good! Just needed to get that off my chest before I do something that puts me back in the hospital.

    Is this with the holiday sale? Is it still there? Is the "You Pay What We Pay" prices still the same?

    If it's simply that the configuration you want is no longer listed, call them. When I bought EPP the website seemed to say that only pre-configed models could be bought through EPP (actually...it was quite clear this is what it was saying). When I called the guy said "oh yeah, of course I can do a custom biuld with epp pricing"
