    With 15% off between $700 and $2000, I think the good deal would be those just above $700 mark. For example this pre-built Lenovo ThinkPad E320:

    • i5-2430M
    • 6GB DDR3
    • 320GB 7200RPM
    • 13.3"
    • $619.65

  We were just about to order a couple of x220s which when configured were $18xx. They've dropped the prices so they are around $16xx, plus the discount code it now comes to $13xx! Wooo!

    Still sounds like a massive ripoff.

    You can get the base model with IPS upgrade for around $950 which is marginally acceptable compared to US prices.

    10% of 689 = $68.90
    15% of 700 = $105

    Diff = $36.10

    Having said that, I would go for the 9 cell for more juice (+$40)

    total = $729 -> $619.65 vs ($689 * 0.9 = $620)

  Thinkpad is not the one with IBM forever for its poor quality.
  I have a T410 on my hand for nearly 10months. Now, the fan error, the issues from 'ctrl' key and speaker make me boring. Many my friends in USA have the same problems of the fan and keyboard.

  Great prices - just curious, is this part of the offload before Ivy Bridge models come in, or are they still a ways away?

  •

    Ivy Bridge is at least April I thought, and then maybe another month or two before the new Ivy Bridge models are available. So I guess there's still a bit of wait.

  Lenovo, please change your keyboard layout so that the CTRL key is on the bottom left corner, and not the FN key.

    Just FYI latest model (from T510 or equivalent generation up) thinkpads have a BIOS option to switch CTRL-FN key.

    I am still furious they didn't bring this feature back for my beloved T61p but oh well.
