For those of you that don't real the Hot Deals forum:

SMOKING !! IBM T41 for $1399.00 with Nylon case

IBM direct link

I think this seems like a good price for a low-spec Thinkpad for non-gamers. Read the original thread for more details, but I think this is a Discover Card promotion, so you may have to pay by Discover Card (I'm not sure though).

The current price on this model/spec without this promotion is $1741.65 (regular $2,049).

non-promotional T41 model

 
:Q Holy cow that is a good deal! Especially considering that it has a 3-year warranty. If I didn't have a T40 already I'd buy that.
 
Is it feasible to buy this and somehow upgrade to an m10 or something later? I don't really understand the whole flexfit story - that's a killer price (might have to get a discover card).
