    Missed the memmorial day sale to buy a T60. Now im waiting for another good sale (probably during independence day). Now is there a chance that Lenovo might discontinue T60 by then or no more offers on T60?

    Any news about lenovo Independence day sale?

    Why wait for a different sale. I think they are all about the same. The T61 that I configured is 10 bucks less right now than it was during the memorial day sale.

    If the T60 price gets any lower it will probably be a discontinuation price.

    The T60 i configure now is $150 more than the memmorial day sale + fatwallet. So im looking for a similar deal again. Esp upgrades where much cheaper than now.

    Do you mean to say that the next deal we can expect on T60 is only the discontinuation sale? :( :(

    I'm probably talking out my @$$ but I would imagine the T60 line will be replaced by the T61 line shortly after the T61P is released. I would look for the T61P to be released within the next couple weeks. At that point the T60 line will probably be offered at its lowest price during the Independence Day sale. Then phased out as supply/demand of the T60 line starts to dwindle and supply/demand of the T61 line grows.

    Again, just speculation on my part.

    Upgrades were cheaper because that was 25% off, now is smth like $400 off, so upgrades are not discounted.
    So, you can actually get entry-level model cheaper now, but for savings on top-priced models wait for July 4th.

    After the current sale. I think the current sale ends June 17th so probably right after that.
