    Just in case anyone is interested in getting the shareholder code to get discounts on Lenovo ThinkPads (under the Shareholder Purchase Plan), just send me a PM and I can give it to you. From what I've personally seen anyways, it's pretty hard to come across Lenovo discounts (wish they had Dell like coupons!). Anyways, you just need the code...no other info is needed, and the order goes right through with the discount without any problems (plus free shipping).

    I don't know if this is already well known, so if it is, sorry about that. (although the price discount ain't too bad, depending on the model)

    P.S. Only for U.S. residents...sorry :/


    Some sample pricing:

    ThinkPad T43 (2686DHU): $1,484.10 (listed as $1649)
    ThinkPad T43 (2687D3U): $1,664.10 (listed as $1849)
    ThinkPad T43 (266876U): $1,743.20 (listed as $2179)
    ThinkPad T43p (2687D5U): $2,339.10 (listed as $2599)
    ThinkPad T60 (2623D4U): $1,661.55 (listed as $1749)
    ThinkPad T60p (2623DDU): $2,849.05 (listed as $2999) ** VERY Nice system! :O

    I was looking at the T60p myself. If I purchase with my Amex card they'll give it to me for the same price.

    me too. but looks like they yanked the T60 and T60p off of the Lenovo site :mad: - probably supply/back order issues. just like i've run into with Fujitsu and HP :mad:. me thinks these guys didn't forecast production or demand very well...
