Prices for IBM Notebooks

#1 Post by carnagedobalina » Mon Aug 08, 2005 2:53 pm

Hey everyone,

i was just about to buy the laptop i wanted on the Lenovo website, and i saw that all their laptops went back up to retail price. Anyone know if the prices are gonna go back down anytime soon?

Thanks a bunch,

Check with Bill. He'll have lower prices (and faster arrival), I'm sure.

Have you also checked the Visa/Mastercard/Amex pages? They offer discounts of 5-20% on many models.

If you are a college student, educator, or a college alumni, you can get an education discount thru http://www.ibm.com/education/us This site also seems to have the widest selection of notebooks.
