    I am planning to get a new Thinkpad but I haven't decided on the model yet. My question is about how to get the best price. I already have access to EPP. I have also read a few posts here saying they get discounted prices by calling the sales rep instead of ordering it through the website. I am just wondering if calling the sales rep would get me better price than EPP. Thanks!

    EPP is a good way to go, but if you have any affiliation with a college/university you can save some bucks that way. I'm a college student and I was able to get a loaded 14.1 sxga+ t60 for 1300...

    Try it and let us know because I'm interested in getting a T60.
