Thinkpads Forum

I have a budget of $800 to spend on my niece ... what is the best laptop I can get for this price ... second hand is ok.

Thanks

That's a very nice gift!

You'll receive lots of opinions, mine is this;

New, sealed ThinkPad W500 via eBay for $837.

1) Sign up for cashback via Bing.com
2) Search Bing.com for Lenovo Laptop
3) Click on eBay link for 8% discount on Buy It Now items
4) Buy this W500 for $909, free shipping, no tax --> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0403823837
5) After cashback is processed, it will be $837 delivered.

(If your niece prefers a smaller machine, look for an X200s or X61s or T400s.)

Good luck.

Oaklodge, I think I might be your long-lost nephew.
