Good Deal on T43?

[Cosmos01]

Hey, I'm buying a notebook soon. I'm a college student and mostly what I do is word processing, web designing, and maybe some 3-D games. Eventually I determined to get the T43. I had been waiting for a while since I heard that the T60 model is coming out, so I might get a discount on the older series.

At last, I saw this Sale on Lenovo website, do u think this is a good deal? If it is, I'm going to get it soon. If it's not, should I wait a little bit furthur? Thanks ahead for advices.
