It was a killer deal then(I bought one, it shipped today!) and it's a killer deal now. Green for you.

Compare to the MSI deal with same spec for $450 tax included. This won't kill my wallet.

Can I click through the link in the post above to get FatWallet CashBack?

I downgraded to 320GB HDD and no glossy cover and upgraded to GT 240M (most important part of the whole laptop)

CB not going to work. I tried for over 1 hour to find the correct link on Lenovo's website.

I don't know.

How do apples compare to oranges?

Both deals are hot and both deals are targeting completely different users.

Most earlybird BF deals are for lower end laptops(Celerons, like todays bestbuy deal) which are dead slow and are useful for browsing internet. The killer in this deal is the discrete GPU which makes a lot of difference in performance.

bing doesn't work with coupons.

flobb said: I would probably jump on this if they had a screen upgrade option, as the 1366x768 is my least favorite thing about the current laptop I have now.
you are right. Since this already has discrete GPU, they should have offered a screen upgrade option.

do anyone know fw void cb if using this coupon code(not list in coupon$cashbck)?

This is a pretty hot deal for a laptop with so much gaming potential. The only major weakness of it would be that it doesn't have a 7200rpm hard drive and the processor could be a quad. But for sub $600, this is a pretty awesome deal. Green!

How does this compare to this Sony Vaio at Bestbuy....pls help me decide which one to keep

Upgraded the processor, added 1GB video, added Intel N wireless, and downgraded the HDD, plus 1yr accidental damage protection. After tax and CB, it'll be $890-ish. Looking forward to receiving it. Missed the last deal and have been kicking myself since then. The recent Sony FW-series deal was comparable but not quite what I needed. Thanks!

ddr2 vs ddr3 (faster)
integrated vs independent video card (huge difference)
if you game sometimes, chose Lenovo,

Ends up being $10 more for the same config than I got it back on 10/27. Not that that has even shipped yet, just updated to 11/18. Be aware that you pretty much get no feedback for Lenovo other than a page that has an estimated shipping date, that only updates after the item has shipped or if the estimated ship date is passed, then it just gives another date.

Deal dead

Will the GT 240M make a huge difference on the battery life ?
Nope. GT 240M supports dual mode. Your laptop will use the crappy integrated Intel 4500MHD for regular tasks, and only power up the dedicated GPU if it's needed. So basically when another laptop would get jumpy, this laptop will call in the calvary and keep your machine fast. Though yes that will consume more power, wouldn't you rather have the game/program/whatever actually function rather than lock up or lag out?

Thanks OP! Missed this deal 2 times in a row...I hope it will come back

Since this thread's is in the Expired Deals forum where it doesn't get as much visibility, not much chance of you getting a timely reply. I personally haven't seen anything that beats it for a gaming capable high build quality laptop. I got in on an Acer 11" deal that came and went within a few minutes on Amazon, but that's a whole different beast.

The saga of the Lenovo laptop migration continues. Check this out. Looks like the shipping container made it onto the plane without the lappys in it (or something?).
