Best place to buy new Lenovo?

With the CPP site now gone, what is the best place to buy a T410s when they show up again? Anything with comparable prices to CPP?

 

Technically if you weren't a legit contractor you weren't suppose to get those prices anyway...

So don't get your hopes up and just wait for coupons.

 

cpp is not actually down

check
lenovo.com/familyandfriends

 

I think that someone that rightfully has access to the CPP program would already know the address. I don't think it's right to post it here. Perhaps Lenovo took the old one down for a reason.

 

Topseller from some reseller.

(I am aware that for most ppl here the lenovo notebook config webpage is some kind of fetish, so don't complain..)

 

IMO, if Lenovo stop asking code, then it is accessible to the public.
I would not post any code, if lenovo is still asking code. Also, from the link I posted, it is offered to "Lenovo family members and friends", which I think we all are unless Lenovo defined it.

 

In the olden days, the F&F discount was stellar. In fact, my retailer (whom I had maximum discount with) couldn't touch the EPP prices. Now, that isn't the case. The last 2 times I have priced up EPP vs. thinkpad.com or other discount site, the pricing was almost identical. EPP might have saved $30 here and $10 there... but overall, the pricing was close. When I bought my 400 the week before the 410's came out, i saved a whopping $20.

 

current best price is the SPP site.
they don't seem to ask for a shareholder ID at all so it's fine.

 

I've found that Lenovo's websites (even outside of special purchasing sites) usually offer the best deals, with their very frequent ecoupon deals. You can look into the Visa and (if applicable) student sites for good deals as well.

The CPP was in the past limited to contractor purchasers, but Lenovo seems to have diluted that in the last year or so. Even so, try to keep discussion of it off of NBR.

 

It was just my opinion.
