2378FVU Spec Check

[Txiasaeia]

Are these *really* the specs for this model?

Thinkpad T42 2378-FVU (express)
P-M 735 @ 1.7 GHz
256MB RAM 2700 200pin
40GB 5400 RPM HD
Radeon 9600 64 VRAM
CDRW/DVD
14.1" SVGA+
List price: $2029(!)

I've checked the specs online and on the tabook, but somehow I'm not willing to believe it... on launch day, a similarly spec'd model (in fact, pretty much identical) was on the IBM Canada web site for $2529 CAD, but as it turned out it was a mistake in pricing. I don't want to get my hopes up again if it turns out to be a mistake. It might not look like a good deal to you yanks, but the closest spec'd model to this in Canada is about $400 USD more.

Correct. The price with the following credit card discounts is even better, $1725 (USD).
