    I have been trolling these forums for a month or two, and needless to say I finally went with the T400.

    I have been looking for deals for the last month and was waiting for 20% off. After configuring a T400 and adding it to the shopping cart today, I noticed there was a message at the top of the cart that said something like "Call now for up to 20% off your order". So needless to say I called. The employee that answered asked me to save my cart and give her the saved order number. Then she applied the discount and took my credit card information on the spot.

    I got:
    Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P8400
    Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic (have Ultimate 64bit from school)
    14.1 WXGA TFT, w/ LED Backlight, Camera
    Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with vPro
    2 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz SODIMM Memory (1 DIMM) (2GB more on the way)
    UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad)
    160 GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
    CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo 24X/24X/24X/8X Max, Ultrabay Slim (Serial ATA)
    Express Card Slot & PC Card Slot
    Intel WiFi Link 5100 (AGN) with My WiFi Technology
    6 cell Li-Ion Battery


    All of it coming to $691.20+tax = $736.13 shipped
    Est. ship date is 6/4

    Good luck to all you deal hunters.
    And to the Lenovo fanboys: I hope to join your ranks in the near future.

    If anyone is interested I'll post pics/first impressions when I get it.

    Cheers,
    Josh

    Great price on a great laptop :)
    Hope you receive it soon, and enjoy it - and don't forget to make your recovery disks when you receive it.

    Cool. Enjoy your Thinkpad. Wouldn't trade a Thinkpad for any other laptop brand.
