I assume you're buying, given your signature - I think it's a very good price given that it's a SXGA+ and has nearly 2 years warranty. Snap it up, I say :D

I remember that T43 #266872U models sold for $1199 new just over a year ago.

So, I agree it IS a good buy! (but one thing... the X300 was not the "high end" GPU, it was actually the lowest of the 3 gpu's available for the T43)

If you happen to run into another one of these just sitting around with the same price tag let me know... :D

I snatched this up for $530 and it looks really good :D I'm still trying to figure out Vista and will probably reload Windows XP. I will definitely keep everyone in mind if another such opportunities shows up :P
