    Hey guys!

    I have a question if anyone would be kind enough to help me :)

    I wasn't following the prices for thinkpads lately, and i just checked after a looong time and saw a coupon for 4. of july.

    Are there usually coupons with the same or similar discount or is it a good idea to just go for it while they're still offering it?

    any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

    I got my X220i for just over $700. It would seem the same notebook costs $800 with today's sale. I'd say it's been better, though getting the absolute best price is tough as they're always moving price points. About the best you can do watch for a while so you'll know when it's relatively low. If you're interested in the X220i, I'd say $700 is a good starting point.

    Coupons for 10-15% off are common if you search for them, it seems they run some type of holiday, 48 hour, 72 hour, etc. sale every week or two.

    Go through the order process and "request a quote"- you do not have to give payment info.

    This way you lock in a price for a month, but are under no obligation to buy.
