    Yeah I'd say that is a pretty good deal. Thinkpads are the best built notebooks.

    It looks pretty good since with these options, the warranty, the ram, and the other stuff it will cost you atleast 1600 from DELL's inspiron line. But this is a T series IBM built for professionals so it comes with a biometric scanner, hard drive protection, additional security features like encryption hardware, and really good build quality (I think the thinkpads use titanium alloy chassis).

    That's a sick deal! Thinkpads have the best build quality overall - very good machines!

    I'd say that deal is almost as good as the EPP prices, if not better. Good job!
