    It has the Celeron M CPU which is not a great mobile CPU.

    For $800... stay away. If it was like $400-$500 it would be a good deal.

    You can't expect a Pentium M, a dedicated card and ThinkPad build quality for $800.

    Yea you can.... In the past I have seen a few Thikpads with PM's from newegg and buy.com for less then $800 with PM CPU's. If you look around a bit you can find one. They are mostly R series.

    But they are still as good and sturdy as the ones with magnesium.

    Who cares about the lid. Or I would have if my processor was hidden in the lid or something.

    I don't think I will find my dream notebook until i become, maybe, a millionaire.
