    click SHOP NOW！Then Sign in first, or create an account and login

    by default it leads to Ideapad K1 page, but you can navigate to other seriels/models. this offer is supposed to expire on Aug 7.

    I got a T420 for myself:

    i5-2410m, 4GB x1 DDR3-1333, Win7HP x64, 900p screen, intel HD3000, 320GB HDD 7200rpm, 720p webcam, bluetooth
    estimated shipping 08/22/11 (kinda long waiting time, hope nothing happens to my order before that)
    total $687.73 free shipping

    only one thing not too sure. I choose the base model to be a T420i with i3 and 768p screen and upgrade to my ideal configuration. then on the final page it becomes a T420. I did the same configuration on shop.lenovo.com and the quote is $100+ more than this number without OS so I think the deal is quite nice.

    ps: you don't need a mastercard to order. I ordered mine with my visa card and checkout through Amazon since it has all my shipping information and card details there so I don't need to fill up again on lenovo. Paypal checkout is also supported.
