I bought it a while ago, and I am very happy with it. I upgraded the RAM for $25 on eBay and SSD for about $100 on Newegg. Ultrabase (dock station) can be bought for about ~$100, extra AC adapter ~$15 and AFFS screen ~$140 (glossy) or ~$210 (matte) if you happen to find Shutech selling it on eBay. The CPU is a little below i3 mobile CPU on X201 in terms of performance, even though I don't think it's noticeable in everyday work. I like the fact that the laptop is extremely quiet (the only time ever I hear the fan is when I'm running something with >90% CPU usage) and barely gets warm.

It does not have a touchpad nor webcam. Although... I found trackpoint pretty nice alternative and bought Logitech C310 webcam for $30 on eBay. However, I believe internal webcam can be bought and manually installed.

Price for the config on the web:
