    Hey guys, what do you think of the price for this laptop? The specs are fine for my needs, and I think it's a pretty good deal, but want to check with you all first to see if it could be better.

    Total price is $619 with student discount and "BLACKFRIDAY" coupon + free shipping.

    Intel Core i3-370M Processor (2.40GHz, 3MB L3, 1066MHz FSB)
    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64
    14.1 WXGA TFT, w/ LED Backlight (WWAN antenna)
    Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 5700MHD - AMT
    2 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz SODIMM Memory (1 DIMM)
    UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad)
    250 GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm
    DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer, Ultrabay Slim (Serial ATA)
    6 cell 2.6Ah Li-Ion Battery - Dual Mode
    ThinkPad bgn Wireless
    Integrated Mobile Broadband - Upgradable
    2516: 1 Year Depot Warranty - TopSeller

    I'll buy another 2GB memory stick separately to upgrade it to 4GB... but it's a bit too expensive straight from Lenovo (extra $80).

    Also... I can get either "ThinkPad bgn Wireless" or "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000" for the same price... any preference?

    Thanks!

    Any 2010 T/X Thinkpad you can get for less than 700$ is probably bargain IMO.
    And again, folks in states get the best bargains :D
