    I don't know if these prices are even that good, but I work for IBM and we are allowed to send these prices on 'Lenovo' laptops to our Friends and Family. If you have *real* interest in one of the following please pm me your email and indicate if you would like to be A. Friend or B. Family. Hope this helps someone out.

    I don't know why, but I keep getting logged out when trying to PM you, so I'll just ask you here...

    What is the procedure involved for getting the discount get applied for your "family and friends"?

    I've never ordered one myself (for obvious reasons I have a company provided thinkpad), but you may have to give them my name and Employee # to order. Im willing to provide those if people really are going to buy the laptops. I dont want to post it all over and instantaneously have 100 friends, but I would like to support anyone from the notebookreview.com community who is genuinely interested in any of these machines. New deals come around about once a month. I lurk here a lot and I figured it was time I tried to give something back.

    Really ordering shouldnt be a problem, and I will vouch for anyone I give information to if necessary. I should add that I won't recieve anything from this other than the satisfaction of helping someone out.

    Thanks for the info, trainee.

    I would be ALL OVER the T43, although I really only want a 14" screen. Maybe I could check back with you to see if the deals change in a month or two? I'm considering the T42 you listed as well, but given the specs for the T43 I would rather bump up one.

    Anyway, thanks for the great offer. I am seriously interested, but will have to think it over.

    Edited to add: Are the express configurations able to be changed at all? If I could downsize to a 14" that would be perfect.

    I apologize if I haven't sent a response to you. I am kind of at my comfort limit for giving out my information. If everyone I have responded to already, buys a laptop I will have 10 friends purchases within about a week. I did confirm with some1 that they did have to put my information in to make the purchase. If I don't get any baklash over this then I will continue to post my EPP offers, but I really can't provide any additional information at this time. Sorry.
