    Will I get a better deal than this?

    For the last couple of weeks I've been visiting the Canadian Lenovo website looking to purchase an X series laptop. They have been advertising the 33% off for a while now, until today I noticed certain X series notebooks are 39% off.

    For the X300 this makes a big difference.


    From: $3,465.00
    Sale price: $2,598.75
    Price after ecoupon: $2,104.99
    You save: 39%

    So my question is, will I get a better deal if I wait? Historically has Lenovo had blowout sales to update products?

    Is this a good deal?

    Do you think Lenovo will make a 12 inch ultraportable with a DVD drive within the next 10 months?

    Does getting a 6 cell battery make the laptop thicker?

    I have five days to decide but I'd love to get some insight from some lenovo users. I've heard good things about lenovo so I am definatly leaning towards them.

    the 6 cell battery makes the laptop a tiny bit thicker , but not much, and you can get a price quote if you want to wait a little longer...

    Just in general I haven't seen them go much past 40% off on the new/high end specs, but who knows maybe they will they will toss in another 5%. Don't forget that you might be able to grab another 5% off with the live.com cashback if that helps your decision at all.

    I havent use that but from other peoples responses its legit and works out great.

    Getting a price quote would be your best option. It allows you to wait a bit to see if there are any new deals.

    What is a price quote and how do I go about getting one?

    Anyways, thankyou for the help. I'm new to how Lenovo does business so I really appreciate it.
