It's 2007. noone needs to pay over $499 for a laptop. infact, Microcenter's selling a laptop for $199!

if you make $1700 impulse purchases, i'd hate to see how much debt you;re drowning in.

I was realling hoping mine would arrive before New Years Day but it's scheduled to ship on 1/1/07.

I'm kicking myself for not ordering sooner when they were offering 1.5GB for $99 more.

Not a bad price for it; I got essentially the same thing (100gb 7200rpm and 1gb ram) through my school. The one thing that bugs me is how sucky the graphics card is; I can almost compare it to an Nvidia 5200 which came out god knows how many years ago. Anyway, with a 3 year warranty it would have been $2000 except that they gave me a scholarship for it.

Looks pretty standard to me.
I love the T series thinkpads, lot of experience setting them up at work.

RMA, having a single dead pixel IMO is unexcuseable especially for a laptop that is that expensive.

It was only when LCDs started becoming mainstream and cheap did manufacturers decide that having a few dead pixels was 'acceptable'. I've encountered many computers with LCD screens and it was only recently did I see a 'dead pixel' as being acceptable.

IMO it isn't and I'd get it repaired, just no excuse whatsoever.
