The ThinkPad X300 lives! (it’s only $2400! That’s 22% off the list price of $3000, now through March 3rd)
Now the big question is: Ultrathin DVD Burner or extra bay battery?
Update: list price for the model without the DVD burner jumped from $3,006 to $3,185 overnight—that 22% off sale price of $2548 is still pretty irresistible
Update (3/18/08): Lenovo keeps extending their sale (now through April 7th), but they’ve also reduced the discount on the X300 from the original 22% off to only 10%, or $2,866.50. Of course I didn’t have the money to spend on a new laptop then or now, so it’s all moot to me.
For some reason, i always lumped you in with the Apple camp.
Personally, i’d go for the battery. Given USB disks being so cheap, DVD burning is incredibly overrated at this point.
