    What is the best place to buy an X200? I have heard of Topseller models that are sold but not sure where to find them.

    Are they cheaper than buying from Lenovo?

    Hey webdtc,
    Got your PM will be getting back to you soon. Have you looked at the Lenovo Outlet store? Some good prices on machines and come with a 1 year warranty.

    Thanks Fire Snake. I check the outlet sometimes and sometimes there seems to be good prices there. Refurbished ones are the lowest but seem to go fast.

    Thanks in advance to replying to my PM as well!

    Provantage tends to be one of the cheaper places for Topsellers. However, the best method is to simply check the tabook and find model numbers that match your needs. Then Google the model number and you will find resellers.

    No problem. I would also check ebay as well. Some really great deals to be had there but you need to be very careful. There are a lot of scammers and most auctions are notorious at not volunteering information. For example, the description will tell you all that the machine has but not what is missing. Make sure to ask the seller all the questions on your mind. And ofcourse check the sellers ratings.

    And yes Lenovo's refurbs go fast but they do keep refreshing them. They are pretty good deals really and they are coming from Lenovo so you won't have to deal with the ebay issues, but you will still have to deal with the Lenovo issues :D ;)

    Thanks jonlumpkin. I will keep an eye on Provantage.

    I'll also keep my eye on the outlet everyday. Though, I think I'll stay away from ebay. I've never really had good experiences there.
