    I keep oscillating between buy a cheaper Sager, or going all in and getting a W700. I specced one out earlier today and it looks like there is about a 15% discount going on right now. I tried to add an eCoupon code but got nothing on that. Is this the best deal I can look forward too on a W700? I don't typically keep up with Lenovo, so I'm not sure what kind of deals they typically run.

    TIA

    Wow Texas, that's fantastic. As I say I'm new to the Lenovo line and didn't know such a thing as CPP existed. Have people on this board had luck using that?

    Since you saw my thread on the other board, do you think the extra money is worth getting the W700 over the Sager deal? I can't seem to get any bites on that one. I'm replacing a laptop that is 4 years old so I'm not sure what the "good technology" is these days.
