    Sorry guys, the coupon code that was taking $200 off expired yesterday, 9/17. It was supposed to last for all of Sept. So hopefully there will be another one released soon, for those who missed the deal. :(

    I am probably going to buy one.

    I was able to test the touchpad on the U110 and I loved it. A 13" with an ATI 3450, non-metallic touchpad, and no irritating fingerprint reader jammed between the touchpad buttons is exactly what I want.

    I just hate the idea of buying a laptop only to actually get it 4-5 weeks later...

    Well are you going to be moving it around a lot and potentially drop it?

    i went for the 3year accidental damage because i will be using mine for school.

    Same here. Someone else on the forum put it better than I can, "If you cant afford to replace it, insure it."

    what does it mean "Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P7350 ( 2GHz 667MHz 1MB ) " to by typo???

    is it a centrino 2??

    if it's a typo...is it a good thing or bad?

    Typo in the sense that it has a 1066MHz FSB and 3mb cache as opposed to the 667MHz FSB and 1mb cache reported by Lenovo.
    http://processorfinder.intel.com/Details.aspx?sSpec=SLB53

    It'll most likely have the Centrino 2 sticker, not a Core 2 Duo sticker if that's what you mean since it has the Core 2 Duo processor + Intel 5100 wireless card + PM45 motherboard. Purely cosmetic and a marketing tactic -- it means nothing in regards to performance.
