A co-worker asked me if a T-61 he spec'd out on Lenova's site was a good deal, so I checked it out, then I went and found a coupon for him at cheapstingybargains.com for another 10% off. - USPTIME2SAVE
He's going to purchase this. With their current sale and the coupon you can get it for $1267.65 !!! I'm tempted to buy one myself. Thought I'd share the deal though. He's choosing to get Win XP Pro, and only 1 GIG RAM (one stick) since he can upgrade it himself cheaper than IBM would.

They actually have deals like this all the time. 10% coupon is normal.
If your friend can wait out until around 4th of July or Labor Day, I think that's when their biggest deals are. -
Ah... he might wait for Labor day but I doubt he'll wait for the 4th. You think that'll go down much lower than 1260ish?
With the 2.5 processor and that vid card?

Double post

It's a good deal. But unless he's in a rush for it, waiting it out will get even better deals.
-
Well by the time of labor day new thinkpads would have came out and this model would become obsolete (but will be even cheaper as a result).
-
Obsolete? It's still a decently fast computer you know. My brother's still using a T42, and it's still running along just fine.
-
Actually, now that I look at it. ~$1,300 is a good deal for those specs. -
Actually, last year I think the best deal they had was their memorial day weekend sale. -
Krista -
that is a very good deal
-
Yeah.. If you want it, get it. No matter how good the deals will be, they'll just be a $100 or so difference. Plus, ordering during the major sales may make you wait up to a month for the laptop to arrive.
-
Do you have any idea how much you can get off the dollar menu for $100? -

I got a similar config minus bluetooth for $1080.97 USD. I think that's a good deal considering that you get a faster hdd and somewhat better graphics card. But I have 3gb of ram with my price as well.
