C'mon Lenovo! Cheaper Cheaper Cheaper

Posted on November 19, 2008

I go to Lenovo's site about once a week to configure my dream machine and see what the price looks.  Here's what it was a while back:

And here's the one I priced today:

Huh, so without looking at the first one which I built on October 23, I picked almost the same components, the only difference that I can spot is that today I picked a 200 gig secondary drive compared to the 160 gig drive I picked last month.

The other difference is that the one I priced today looks like it'll ship within 9 business days, and the first one would ship in over 4 weeks. Whew, thankfully I didn't purchase last month. But following the current trend, I figure if the price keeps falling at the current rate of about 656 bucks a month, in only 3 short months I might be able to afford it cuz it'll be down to about 2400 :)

I won't ever buy a 17" laptop again.. EVER again.  It's heavy, big and not portable enough for me...  I'm going back to the good ol 15" or even the Dell M2400 with a 14.1....  OR OR OR.... http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/11/17/47TC-developers-mac_1.html

Actually I don't want a 17" lappie either, but right now, that's the only model they offer with that 3ghz processor.  As for the Mac, read here
