    I got it from a web special at Lenovo ($1,249.00). I managed to get it down to $947 because I'm a student and asked for a further $50 discount. It was around $1,020 after tax and shipping.

    Specs:
    Intel Core i7-620M Processor (2.66-3.33GHz, 4MB L3, 1066MHz FSB)
    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64
    12.1" WXGA LED Panel, 3x3 UltraConnect II antenna
    Intel HD Graphics
    4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM)
    TrackPoint with Fingerprint Reader and Touchpad
    320 GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
    ThinkPad X200 Series 9 cell Li-Ion Battery
    ThinkPad bgn Wireless

    I'm going to be using it for college. Needed something very durable with long-lasting battery life. It's on its way currently.

    So, did I get a good deal or what? :)

    Thank you. The only problem is the waiting though. It says it might take up to September 2nd to be shipped. However, I have some hopes that it'll be shipped a bit earlier. :eek:

    How was the process for you?

    the delivery time varies, also Australia is not directly comparable with USA.
