Ends today. Newegg has the refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T410 2522EC8 Core i5-520M 14.1" Notebook for $510 - $20 rebate [Exp 2/13] = $490 with free shipping. Windows 7 Professional installed.
Not a bad deal. The T-series ThinkPads are usually built like tanks, so it shouldn't matter that it's a refurb. The screen is a decent resolution for a 14", and the SSD and Core i5 processor should make this machine fly. Win 7 Pro? As long as you're not gaming, this is a sweet little system.
I see a lot of these coming off of leases and thus the refurbished tag. Most likely these guys took them off of leases, slapped an SSD and kept the original Win 7 license from the manufacturer. There are some people who commented that the laptop was in pristine shape and others who said it was beat up and worthless. The big question most likely is how good are the batteries.
