    $1560 for the T400 isn't bad. That price is canadian so take 10-15% off for the US price.

    Note: These pre-release details and prices are estimates and are subject to change.

    That said, if you want a sub $1k R61 or T61, I think now would be a good time to buy.

    i think that has discrete graphics. If it is discrete, you can get intergrated for like 100-200 cheaper.

    hm, not too bad, with the CPP code I probably can bring it down a little bit.

    That is a University store. Lenovo's educational laptop program always include 3-4 year warranties on Thinkpads. If you build one on Lenovo.com with 1 year warrenty, you can save a few hundred dollars.
