Should I wait?
The T410 only has a 5% discount right now. The current sale ends the 7th, should I wait? Are there any special date I should wait for such as a back to school sale? thanks!
Re: Should I wait?
Hard to say, but I let both the Father's Day & 4th of July 15% sales go by. I'm going to wait until going back to school time to see what they are offering.
Of course, I could be wrong and get very disappointed.

Re: Should I wait?
I know how you feel. I had my dream setup for only $880 with my education discount and may sale. Now it's going to cost me over $1,100 for that setup. I was also disappointed by the 4th of July sale, it was a load of crap. Hopefully back to school has at least a 10% sale instead of this lame 5% crap. That's not much at all for this nation's independence! But then again it is from China. Do you happen to know when the back to school sale might start around? august?nikki605 wrote:Hard to say, but I let both the Father's Day & 4th of July 15% sales go by.

Re: Should I wait?
I have no idea. My first inkling is when I get the email from lenovo. For instance, I received the 4th of July sale email on July 1.LodenCorp wrote:Do you happen to know when the back to school sale might start around? august?

Re: Should I wait?
LodenCorp does not seem to be able to make up his mind.
Why not spend some money ($300-450) on a very good used T60? A lot cheaper than the $800-1200 you're planning on.
Also, what's all this nonsense about China, and one cannot trust them?
Nearly everything you buy nowadays is made or assembled in China!

I didn't mean that. I meant that it's coming from China and that Independence day is a huge important in this nation yet China doesn't give us a big sale. That's what I'm saying.RealBlackStuff wrote:LodenCorp does not seem to be able to make up his mind.

Yeah I cancelled the Sony Vaio because I noticed the t410 was only 50-100 more dollars so I thought i'd go with it instead of buying a case for the vaio which adds up. Well it's hard to make up your mind on something when dealing with a product over $1,000
