After choosing the laptop that I’ll be using for the next 2-3 years, it was a waiting game. π Lenovo usually has these eCoupons every month which gives out varying amounts of discounts depending on the laptop unit, total customized amount and date of purchase.
As April came in, Lenovo gave an automatic discount for the ThinkPad T410 of US$ 346.00. So the configuration listed below is initially priced at US$ 2,105.00 minus the automatic discount which will give us US$ 1,759.00. Add to that the eCoupon worth 20% or US$ 351.80 and the total is down to US$ 1,407.20! >:) I had it shipped to Oregon for zero tax and free shipping. π
The eCoupon is valid only if the configured system is a Thinkpad T410, is above US$ 1,500.00 and the order date is before 14 APR.
