    I know a guy who is letting me use his stockholder discount. Does anyone know what % it is? I'm looking at the T400.

    I believe it is the same as CPP, 15%.

    No, SPP, CPP, and Student discounts are mutually exclusive.

    Looks like SPP is a little better than the Student discount. CPP is best of all.

    Google CPP for more info on your ability to use it and how to do so. Can't do so here.

    Yup, CPP is the best of all as far as I know. Maybe EPP is even better, not quite sure about that.

    CPP - contractor purchase program
    EPP - employee purchase program
    SPP - stockholder/shareholder purchase program

    Of course there are, but they are generally the people that do not spend their time on internet message boards, they're out there working, making the big $$

    yeah - considering how much time I've spent trying to find the best deal as well as dinking around on message boards, Lenovo should be paying me money to take their notebooks, not the other way round :p
