    As tempting as that offer is, I specifically bought that X200 for its portability so I am going to keep it. Sorry!

    Although... there are quite a few well spec'ed and cheap X200 machines floating on eBay right now. I was watching this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260486558568&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    Someone sold an X200 on thinkpads.com yesterday for only $500!

    I bought a refurb T400 on eBay from PCWholesales... $500. New Parts. As good as new.

    They had some really good deals on the X200 in the Lenovo Outlet last week. For around $600 you could have had a X200 with a P8x00, 2GB, and a six or nine-cell battery. I almost bought one myself, but I don't need that kind of mobility and I'm not a pointstick fan. It was hard to pass on a X200 for little more than a netbook, but I think I've got the perfect ThinkPad right now anyway.

    The seller was very pleasant to deal with when I purchased 2 x T400s and 2 x Dell Latitude E4300s from him a few months ago. He could send them internationally without any problems.

    They came from a liquidation so I guess the business owners didn't want their employees playing solitaire while working!

    Good deals, but not all that impressive next to the prices at the Lenovo Outlet.

    I'm not sure about that. Did you see that both types of machines come with a three-year on-site warranty until 2012?

    Good call. Great deals, those warranties aren't cheap.
