    This is a great deal, get a ThinkPad E420 with the following specs for $444:

    Processor: Intel Core i5-2430M 2.40GHz
    Memory: 4GB DDR3
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
    Storage: 500GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
    Screen Size: 14″ 1366×768 AntiGlare Display
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000
    Optical Drive: Multi Recorder Optical Drive
    Wireless: 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth
    Battery: 6-cell Battery

    Just go here and then "Downgrade" the processor to the Core i5-2430m for $105 savings and the total price comes to $444. Just skip to checkout, no coupons needed. This configuration would usually cost $600+.

    Original deal was found at Slickdeals and a link to a review of the E420.

    Make that $422 when you use the code "USPRETHINK" at checkout.

    Wow, that makes it all the better. I'm guessing this is a pricing mistake on the part of Lenovo since they're promoting the sale as "ThinkPads starting from $499". Thanks for the coupon hint.

    Looks like they pulled it... I am trying from the original site and nope... does not seem like you can get it to work anymore.
