Wow (new laptop ordered)

So yes, I know the x301 and the x3xx series in general are on their way out forever, but it is still a formidable machine in its own right even if it hasn't gotten the new Intel core CPU's.

Still, the time has come to replace my aging x61s, and while I would not have bought the x301 on account of it being a bit long in the tooth, Lenovo then hit me with their one day sale yesterday. It was 7 hours, phone orders only, but included a whopping $1369 discount!

It worked.

So a loaded x301 (4GB RAM and all the cool options) with a 3-year onsite warranty, an additional 3-cell ultrabay battery for extended operation, and their sexy ultraslim combo adapter - both absolutely necessary for us road warriors - in about 10 days.

Total cost, taxed and shipped: $1,532.74.

Not bad, eh?

It's still a Lenovo.
Best of luck.
Hope you get a good one.
