Heat level:this is a good deal
Countries:available in USA
Details:13% to 20% off Laptops, code: USPENDOFYEAR, $100 rebate from $900 purchase
(expired)

New coupon code USPENDOFYEAR gives: Coupon combines with other automatic discounts & promos on their site. Their base configurations start at higher prices than Dell's base configurations, however it's still a deal worth mentioning since some people still prefer the Thinkpads' great quality.

Update (1:30pm EST): We asked Lenovo about their $100 "cash back" offer which expired a few days ago, and they told us they extended it. From now through next Tuesday, get $100 credit when using Paypal as the payment method. Examples of some deals:
  • Thinkpad T61 14", example configurration: with Core 2 Duo T7250 2.0GHz CPU, Windows XP Professional, 1GB memory (1 DIMM, because it's easier to upgrade the memory), 120GB hard drive, CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG, Integrated Bluetooth, 6-cell battery, 1 year warranty for $1015.50, coupon USPENDOFYEAR makes it $906.10, and eligible for $100 back when purchased with Paypal Checkout.
  • Thinkpad X61 12", example configuration: with Core 2 Duo T7250 2.0GHz CPU, Windows Vista Home Basic, 1GB memory (1 DIMM, because it's easier to upgrade the memory), 120GB, 8-cell battery, Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG, 2 year warranty for $1156.50, coupon USPENDOFYEAR makes it $939, and eligible for $100 back when purchased with Paypal Checkout.
  • Thinkpad X61 12" Tablet, example configuration: with Core 2 Duo T7500 1.6GHz CPU, Windows XP Tablet Edition, 12.1" MultiView + MultiTouch WVA XGA display, 1GB memory (1 DIMM may be easier to upgrade memory later), 120GB hard drive, Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG, 8-cell battery, 1 year warranty for $1671.75, coupon USPENDOFYEAR makes it $1337.40, and eligible for $100 back when purchased with Paypal Checkout.
The prices shown for upgrades on the configuration pages are cheaper than displayed, because the coupon gives a percentage off of the displayed prices too. For example, in some configurations an option for integrated Bluetooth costs $21 more, which actually drops to about $17 or $18 after coupon depending on the discount applied by the coupon.

Make sure the purchase price is above $900 when using Paypal as the payment method (final price after applying the above coupon), and you should expect $100 credit in about 4-5 weeks from placing the order.

Update (12/29): When entering the coupon on your cart, make sure there are no spaces before or after the letters of the coupon, otherwise it may not apply a discount.

Before paying with Paypal, be sure to call your credit card company and check if they provide any warranties or theft protection which may be voided if purchased through Paypal. In some situations it may be better to use a credit card directly rather than using Paypal to get $100 off. For example, American Express may provide some cardholders an extended warranty on computers, and other cardholders may have theft protection. Those services would only be available if the credit card is used directly on Lenovo's website, and not using Paypal.

However in some cases it may still be worth getting the extra $100 through Paypal. For example, if your credit card will extend the laptop's warranty from 1 year to 2 years for free when not using Paypal, but if instead you configure the laptop with a "3 year depot warranty" for $100 more, then perhaps it's a better deal to get a 3 year warranty for free after the $100 Paypal cashback rather than a 2 year warranty for free.
