    I was able to find some direct links to Corporate Employee Purchase Program online and was able to get around 10-15% off the regular lenovo website. I am wondering whether there are any restrictions on such orderings?

    Thank you :)

    Look like you would have to be an employee of Delta.

    i was wondering the same thing - though i was able to add everything to the point where i can just place the order by hitting the button with my credit card etc.

    thank you for the reply though

    it would be great if we can all just get a discount through this

    You know, now that you mention it, no one at Lenovo confirmed that I was an academic before giving me the academic price...

    Those discounts are identical to my college student site. EPP is much lower, but you also lose the ability to return things now.

    the prices quoted by some on this site with university discounts at the start of the semester were better than EPP, especially for T60p

    If they found out you purchased it but not part of their company/school, will they disable your warranties or anything?

    Since the warranty is supposed to be transferrable anyway, I doubt they would void it.

    How will anyone find out whether you're a student or educator?

    The only time I've heard of warranties being voided is when someone unauthorizes uses the EPP (which requires the employee# & name), it shows up on the employees list (we have a limit) and the employee reports it.

    The thing i don't like about corporate links like this is that the ThinkPads are not as customizable as they are on the regular Lenovo site and they don't have the free upgrades. They haven't updated to offer Core 2 Duo either.
