Lenovo Sale + Coupon

[Yo2]

lenovo has a back t school sale with some really low prices - for example I have been following the Thinkpad W series 17" high end laptops. They were hardly ever under $2000, now they start at $1499 and coupon UPSBANNERS drops the price another 15% - similar deals on other models

If Intel would get off their asses and release the new chips it would be nice. My current notebook is getting a little long in the tooth but nothing out really justifies an upgrade short of those tanks that cram i7's in them.

maximum pc tested one of those in one of their recent issues - they are blazing, but 14lbs and less than an hour battery hardly qualifies as portable. They also mentioned that the next fastest unit they had tested was the lenovo w700. I set one of those up for one of my architecture clients. They had previously used a 3GHz Alienware (noisy, overheating, battery guzzling POS - IMHO) and they rendered a project, and could not believe how quick this was (we used a T9400 processor), meanwhile 2-3hour battery and no heat and hardly any noise.
