    After returning my alienware laptop, we will have about $1500 even to spend. (maybe $1530) these prices do not include shipping, so 1500-1530 on the computer itself. Right now, I can configure a t61p with

    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T9300 (2.5GHz 800MHz 6MBL2)
    Genuine Windows Vista Ultimate
    15.4 WSXGA+ TFT
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M (256MB Open GL)
    4 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM)
    UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad) with Fingerprint Reader
    250GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm
    DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer, Ultrabay Slim5
    Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (supporting Centrino Pro)
    Integrated Bluetooth PAN
    for about $1530 with a coupon.

    I need to wait about 10-20 days to purchase it. Will I still be able to get this for the same price?

    Lenovo's 25% off ends tonight. They might extend it again, or might not. I think they have extended it twice already. Why don't you make the config you want and save it as a quote? You will have 30 days from the day the quote is made to order the machine. This way your price is locked in for 30 days and you can rest easy ;)

    Also I think you can get a better deal than the USXAPRILSAVINGSWHATEVER is you use a CPP code. Go to Google and type in "lenovo cpp coupon" click on the third link down from fatwallet.

    As for the quote, after you add to your cart and check out down at the bottom where the final price is and stuff there should be a button to save as a quote, lemme know if you find it.

    arg, I didn't use a coupon!!! i joined this website like 2 days after I ordered my Lenovo (which is still being held by the "clearing company") Do you think they do retro active coupons?

    No, what you have to do is choose your whole config(hardware, software, warranty etc).. Once you have the config you want just keep clicking through the continues. Then there will be a button to add it to the cart. Add it and then find the button that says "checkout". You should be asked if you want to login or use a guest account. If you don't have an account already choose guest account. Then once that is chosen you should get to the screen where you will have to enter your name, address, credit card number etc. Do ALL of that and at the very end there will be 2 buttons on the bottom, one saying "order" and the other says "convert to quote". Click convert to quote and your order will be saved(even if you logged in as a guest). You will get an email with your quote number. Please note that in order to do the quote you need to use/pay with a credit card, can't use paypal. Hope that helped. I have done it a bunch of times, works great. Let me know if you need more help.

    To make a "eQuote" you have to enter your mailing address and billing information (credit card) then instead of paying for it you select "Convert to Equote".

    That price quote is good for 30 days.
