This is an insane deal! Credit goes to slickdeals.net for finding such a deal!

Extra's worth considering: $30 Webcam, $30 fingerprint reader, $20 6 cell battery, $35 120GB HD, $60 DVD Burner.

Crazy deal for someone who wants a solid machine at a great price. Comes with just about the bare minimum as far as RAM, HD, optical drive, and battery go....

 

lots of the guys on fw are having the same problem I recently had regarding coupon working at checkout, then not reflecting in email confirmation and what they charge your card.

Prediction: Lenovo customer service reps will have a case of "The Mondays" in a couple of days.

 

Or use your AMEX card, they are having a special on all Thinkpads:

In addition, use this coupon at checkout:
USXFAMILY

The original R61 deal has already expired, but the AMEX deal is still valid and it is just as good. I configured an R61 for $474 (before tax.)
