Looks like T41 will be discontinued by the end of this month: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pcinstitu ... indexw.pdf

Does anyone know if this means they might discount the T41 or X31?

I haven't been around ThinkPad’s enough to see a product discontinued. I know when they come out with new models the price doesn't seem to change, but I am still trying to decide between a T42 and T41p, so if the price changes it might sway me towards the T41p.

Looks like the T41p will continue for awhile...

I guess you can expect a price drop on the T41s...but not the T41p yet...

But IBM has reduced the T41p's price on there website...as well as the refurbished ones...

I also had a hard time between T42 or T41p...Loving the T41p...

Of course, they have "Back to school" sale.

Discontinuing the X31 would be a fatal error imo.. the X40 isn't a worthy successor, it's more like an addition to the series.

didn't know about the price drop

... just ordered a t41p factory refurbished from saveateagle.com... 2373geu for $1850... i think this is a good deal... better than the deals i've found elsewhere... anyone find a similar deal?

FINALLY! MY THINKPAD IS ARRIVING IN 2 DAYS

Don't worry, it's still a good deal. Even IBM's final price (with the current sale) for a refurb T41p is about $2050 (with 5% tax).

So where did you order it from, IBM or saveateagle.com?

ordered from saveateagle, got an email saying the order was cancelled because they could not verify my billing address... called and found out it was because there were none in stock... so ordered from ibm... now regretting because i see a fs in the fs/wtb area for 100 less than i paid at the ibm site... bleh.........

Don't forget that IBM has 7 days money back guaranty on refurb models.
What the hell is "fs" and "wtb"?

So they might be introducing a new model to the T series...because when they discontinued the T40, the T42 came out.
