Just like most other deals, go to bing and find the TigerDirect 15% CB.

Item number: T70-154112

Not enough RAM, but that can be upgraded to 4GB for <= $50. Seems like a pretty good deal for a work machine. Found a review here: review link

Core 2 Duo Centrino T9300 2.5 GHz w/800 MHz FSB 6MB L2 Cache
1 GB DDR2 667
15.4" WSXGA+ 1680x1050 Anti-glare LCD
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M 128MB
Vista Business (which is eligible for Windows 7 $50 upgrade I believe)
100GB 7200RPM HDD
DVD±RW
Bluetooth 2.0
Gigabit Ethernet
Wireless A/B/G
9 cell Lithium Ion (5.9 hours claimed)
Fingerprint Reader

That Windows 7 upgrade deal is for computers sold after June 26th?

I've been looking for 15% off at TigerDirect at Bing. What are you searching for that gives you 15% or is this more of a theoretical deal with the 15% based on some old post?

@gak - Per this article: Text "Those who already have a computer can pre-purchase a Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for $49.99 and a Windows 7 Professional Upgrade for $99.99, starting on June 26. The offer ends July 11 and a copy of the OS will ship directly to the customer."

@shan - search for "memory card" and click on the TigerDirect link for 15% at the top. Then add the laptop to your cart to see CB from Bing.

I'd wait six days to get Win 7 for free.

Also, there is a package that comes with 4GB ram and a 160GB external harddrive for $850 pre bing CB. Base price is $70 more before CB.

Memory card works like a charm - for awhile I thought the 15% at TD had gone the way of 30% at eBay.
Many thanks and rep'd, now it's time to buy the Compaq featured on another thread.

I considered this but I fear the price going up, losing 15% CB, or even it being out of stock by then. I've been shopping around and this just has the sweet spot of features that I was looking for.

Not bad at all. Much much better than your average $500-600 15" Laptop. Good find.

You have to search for specific products using bing.com

people have used "Memory card," "hard drive," and "LCD monitor" which will return TigerDirect sponsored link with 15% off. Once clicked through, just add the thinkpad to your cart and you will see the 15% CB.

The screen resolution is great, but the FSB and memory speed is not 1066. Depending on what you are looking for, a T400 or T500 from cpp or ibmspp with the p8600 processor and DDR3 would run you between $600 to $700.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great deal, especially with no sale tax (for CA).

Has the T60.. WORST NOTEBOOK I EVER HAD. Wireless would randomly stop working, videocard would cause used etc...Lots of crappy apps pre-installed

The T40-T41-T42 were great. Then they moved production to China....

I really wanted the dedicated video. I have the EPP for Lenovo and this is still way better than what I could build including a faster proc, dedicated video card, and higher screen resolution.

Certainly not for everyone, but I plan to run this machine for 2-3 years and this is a good value.

Please check the price with Bing and without Bing. Some people have reported TD showing higher price when going through Bing. Check this thread out.

It's the same base price for me through FW, Bing, or just browsing to their site.
