    It's half price. Not bad. Do you need it and does it match your needs?

    $500 is quite good for a T410, there's not much you can fault with the specs. You may want to check up on the warranty status on the machine as well by checking the serial tag to see how much is outstanding.

    Yeah i was going to check the warranty, so i just look up the serial number on their site? or call them?

    Yeah its in really good condition, like new, only flaw is, it needs a new red mouse cap as its missing. no biggie, their like under 3$ shipped.

    I just purchased a laptop from power notebooks, gaming laptop.
    4GB Ram
    Ati HD 5850
    I5 520M


    But this deal on the T410 is too tempting to pass up, i might just take it and keep both, or resell the T410 :p

    Your friend gave you a great deal - congrats! ;)

    I'd say for anything other than 3D CAD work or gaming, the T410's integrated graphics should be fine. 1080p video should work without a hitch.
