    Looks good to me (Well I have European prices so US prices always do)
    Where do you get that price from?

    My cousin is an IBM contractor so he's buying it for me once I pull the trigger.

    Looks like I can get the same sort of deal. Wondering if it's worth pulling the trigger on something like this or if I should wait for the t410s to get discrete graphics...

    Looks like quite an impressive system - great price, especially on such a new model.

    thanks for all the advice. I'm going let my cousin knows. I'll look forward to receiving it; it's my first ThinkPad.
