    How do IBM's EPP works? Are they some friends and family prices VS employee prices?

    I'm asking the question because I received a number and a link to an EPP program with some not so interesting deals.

    Thanks

    No, there's no such thing as friends and family pricing outside of the EPP. There is pricing for students and alumni of certain schools and there's pricing for media people as well but outside of that, nothing else.

    EPP is the Employee Purchase Program. EPP prices are the same for friends, family and employees.

    if you have an IBM employee's serial number and first & last name, just call Lenovo at 1-800-426-3675. the EPP site only lists a few random machines for some reason.

    you can also take a look at the TABOOk to see a complete listing of all configurations. just search tabook on ibm.com and you'll see the pdf.
