    I ordered an X230 using the 15% off coupon first thing this morning. A couple of hours later got an email from Lenovo with an even better deal - 20% off and free upgrade to a 500BG disk. Here's the coupon:

    USXJUNESAVINGS2012

    This coupon also applies to T430 & T530.

    Cancelled my order and reordered with the new coupon. Delivery is estimated for one day later than the original order.

    Enjoy. :)

    The coupon doesn't work for me, but it's still not as good a deal as my X220i even with the coupon.

    Oops my mistake. Sorry.

    The coupon was included in an advertisement email that I received from Lenovo. Apparently, you have to go to Lenovo's site via a link in the email (I just discovered the link has a bunch of embedded data) and then use the coupon. Also, the coupon is apparently a one time deal even following the link. When I tried it a second time, I didn't get the same discount.
