Too bad we can't buy a bunch of Kellog's cereal products, chock full of sugar, and get another $75 off like Dell--who the hell comes up with this stuff, anyway?

I think this deal is good for being able to customize. But if you are looking for a basic with webcam and 250G HDD, you can get the Lenovo G550 - 29582CU for 399 plus free ship. link: http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/942259?highlight_key=y&keyword1=G550. or search for G550.

you really shouldnt compare a thinkpad with a generic Lenovo laptop; its like comparing a BMW to a Hyundai =P
I would advise staying away from the T400 model. A company I support just issued out hundreds of these laptops and had many hardware issues. If you like go with the IBM look for a diffrent model such as the T-61 or newer.

You do know that T400 IS the newer model for the T61 right?

Honestly, no. It does make a difference but for the majority of tasks it won't be a big deal. In the end what minimal improvement in speed you might notice would be offset by the possible noise and decrease in power (faster drives consume more power, if only by a fraction - in most cases anyhow).

I think so, because it's the smaller things that always seem to make the laptop feel "sluggish." Copying files over to watch movies, downloading and transferring, and even the occasional game or so (even if you don't plan on using it to game, you might find yourself doing it once in a while!) makes the difference noticeable. If the price premium is more than $20-30, I wouldn't do it (or if the space difference for the same price is 100 gigs or so, i also wouldn't do it), but it makes a difference.
