    Lenovo t400s

    Gah. So. Because my desktop DIED, I have to buy my uni laptop, like, now. Same required activities as before
    (light gaming, word processing, photoshop, avast running 24/7, torrenting, etc.), but now I have a below $1000 price tag and I need to order, like, SOON. Like within the next week soon. It's likely that I'll be able to replace it in two years, hence the lower price tag, but I still need something durable.

    Anyways, I saw the Best Buy Blue Label laptops and they actually seem to have some pretty decent specs for a nice price. But I'm pretty suspicious of these 'exclusive' gimmicky sort of things; I think it's all marketing, but the specs look surprisingly nice. However I'm not really too knowledgable about hardware, so could someone give me their thoughts? And if the BLs actually are better deals than the t400s (not sure which one I should get), then which BL is the best? They all look the same to me. GAH.

    Okay, yeah. Thank youuuu!

    t400s. You can probably pick one up cheap now that the 410/410s revisions are out
    note: t400s != t400
    stack applicable coupons on top of cpp website for max discounts

    lenovo.com/cpp
    code: ibmcpp

    edit: You can probably snag a T410 for just over 1k, so that's always something else to consider

    Also, i5 = stripped down i7 :<
