    Once the X220 comes out, will Lenovo discount the X201 to around $700?

    The specs I'm looking for:

    Core i3/i5, 9-cell battery, 2-4 GBs of RAM, HD doesn't matter.

    I'm sure you will be able to get one at some point, but the question is when.

    I suppose X201 might reach 700$ price point from various retailers this summer/autumn, not sooner.
    Look at the prices on X200, not that MUCH cheaper than X201i, 100-200$ difference and thats its.
    HP Elitebook 2530p on the other hand has been available below 600$ for quite some time now, doesnt look like X200 will reach that price point at all given how low its stock seems to be.

    I might contemplate buying X201 with i7 if it reaches that sub 800$ price point, the closer to 700$ the better, but that sounds like either not happening or almost year away, if there will be any i7 models left in stock that is :D
