Good time to buy Thinkpad now?

I would like to buy a T510. Not quite sure it is good timing now. I heard that stores are selling their stuff at BF prices earlier than usual because of economy and competition.

I dont see any greater deals for T510 at this moment.

I have a SPP account, this is what I confiugred for $1,227 (after 10% off). Is this a good deal?

All the best.

 

Question is do you need the T510 urgently? From your signature, you got a T500 with T9600 CPU, which is more than enough for most apps.

In which case, then you probably can wait to buy the T510 near Christmas period, i am sure you would get better discounts then.

But if you are in dying need of a new laptop, then that is a different case all together.
