    if you go here:
    "https://www-03.ibm.com/lenovo/shop/personalpages/public/public/search/dsp_product_features.cfm?category=7226&featured_display=Template&establish_cookie=true"

    it should be a t43 for about $1385.23. if you look at the specs it seems real good for that price. but then if you try to configure it, it comes up totally different. like a diff screen size, HD, vid card, and even diff processor. whats the deal. if i add that to my cart, which one will i get?

    ok i suck at the internet...the link should now take you to ibm Ga education program (think express program?). then search for "187232U". hopefully that works

    sorry about the link

    being too good to be true is what i am afraid of. did you see what i am talking about though? its wierd, you have to go under education to get that price, otherwise the price comes out to be much more expensive.

    heres a quick summary:

    187232U
    Your price: $1,385.23
    Web price: $1,799.00
    Highlights

    - Pentium M 780 2.26 GHz
    - ATI MOBILITY FIRE GL V3200 - 128MB
    - Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional
    - RAM 1 GB
    - HD 80 GB - 7200 rpm
    - DVD¦RW
    - Mdm
    - LAN EN, Fast EN, Gigabit EN, Bluetooth, 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g
    - Centrino
    - 15" TFT UXGA (1600 x 1200)

    theres only 2 things keeping me from ordering it right now.
    1) (the biggest thing) it might not be legit and they wont honor it. maybe they just linked to the wrong thing and
    2) the weight. i was really hoping for around 5lbs but this one is about 6.1lbs. but then again it has 15 w/ Flexview"
