X300-Should I Jump At This Price?

I've been watching notebook pricing for months and I think at last I found the right laptop at a good price. It's more than I wanted to spend but I don't think anything out there compeat at this price point. I want a 13.1 screen, dvd drive, road worthy machine.

I read about the new mac's today so I may change my mind but I doubt it.

What do you think? Is this a "no-brainer" good deal? I can get the laptop configured below for $1,871 free shipping in the US. It works out to about 44% off list.

use a coupon and you could save another 5%

Thanks, I'm already using a 15% off coupon on top of the already discount price. Can this coupon be stacked on what I've alreay got?

 

Try? And this is pretty decent. I think I saw it cheaper ONE DAY with CPP. Around 1700. But if you're happy with the price and want it, I'd say it is a good price right now.

 

I tried to stack and it didn't work.

I contacted one of the Lenovo reps and asked to sweetin the deal even more. We'll see how that turns out.
