Hi guys, I registered to the forum because I'm thinking about buying a Thinkpad x301. Dou you think that the following is a good deal?

or should I look for a refurbished model in the outlet? Is the difference between 1.4 and 1.6 that big? I will use the laptop for basic office, matlab and other statistics software.

Thanks

I think that's an incredible deal. Go for it before tomorrow when it ends. You would not notice a difference between a 1.4 and 1.6Ghz Core 2 Duo for what you are doing with the machine.

I bought that laptop :)

It works beautifully and you wont be able to notice a difference between the 1.4 and 1.6 processors. The 5400rpm hdd is not bad, coming from an X41-t.
you also should consider that it comes with a DVD drive AND a 6-cell battery!!

Incredible deal, I would highly recommend it :thumbup:
