    Looks like they took out the $1 320 GB USB drive option… still, a very good deal since the July THINKSALE

    • halfrabbit on 04/09/2011 - 16:41

      The current deal is now a 500gb external hd, but unfortunately only if you purchase a E520. If you don't mind the size then it's a better deal as it's cheaper after upgrading the E320 to have 4gb ram and bluetooth.

  • [Deactivated] on 04/09/2011 - 16:43

    It should probably be made clear in the OP it doesn't have an inbuilt optical drive.

    Great deal on a 13"er.

    • dyziplen on 04/09/2011 - 17:18
      +1

      Pretty soon optical drives would be the exception rather than the rule. Especially with the incoming ULV ultrabooks.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/09/2011 - 19:56

        At 1.856kg this would struggle to be classed as a low weight notebook. The Dell Vostro 3350 13"er is 2kg and has a DVD drive. Of course it's not a contender in terms of price, this is just about the weight.

        But yeah, with networking and external flash/hdd storage optical data is becoming irrelevant.

        When HD/BD were competing we were all wondering what the next optical media that would replace them would be… now it seems that there just won't be a next optical media.

    • Shwayne on 04/09/2011 - 17:49

    great! just got a basic one at $393 with intel wifi, as cheap as a netbook :)

    • someguy102 on 04/09/2011 - 17:58

      A noob question, but what's the difference between the different wifi adapters? As in ThinkPad 1x1 b/g/n and Intel WiFi Link 1000?

    • Shwayne on 04/09/2011 - 18:03

      Any reason for Intel Link 1000 vs the ThinkPad 2x2 a/b/g/n?

      I don't see why it's not worth spending $5 extra on.

      • wonderland on 04/09/2011 - 18:09

        thinkpad 2x2 is broadcom chipset, with dropout problems

        • Shwayne on 04/09/2011 - 18:28

          Yep I see that now, Intel ftw. :D

      • dyziplen on 04/09/2011 - 18:53

        Intel chips are better supported on linux as well. Most distros natively support Intel, but need to go through the ndiswrapper etc for Broadcom.

        • halfrabbit on 04/09/2011 - 18:56

          Didn't broadcom open source their drivers last year? http://lwn.net/Articles/404248/ I thought it would have being incorporated into most distros by now.

        • dyziplen on 04/09/2011 - 19:01

          Didn't realise that, I haven't had a broadcom chip for a while, so haven't looked lately. After my initial run in with Broadcom on Ubuntu, I stuck to Intel chips.

        • halfrabbit on 04/09/2011 - 19:38

          I'm just hoping that Broadcom have improved now they've got open source driver. There's no intel option for the E420 and E520

  • inherentchoice on 04/09/2011 - 18:04

    Noo I just paid $700 for a 13" first-gen i5. 13" is a good size I find.

    • Shwayne on 04/09/2011 - 18:08

      Indeed, and being a ThinkPad makes this awesome!

      • inherentchoice on 04/09/2011 - 18:23

        Although the Ctrl key isn't in the bottom left corner which I find is a downside. For some reason they've swapped it around with the Fn Key. I'm getting an Asus which can't be too bad.

  • Colombian on 04/09/2011 - 18:34

    I bought the E520 i5 2410m for $525 down from $660. I chose the thinkpad 2x2 wifi for better coverage. It would not be a good idea to save $7 for the thinkpad 1x1 wifi.

    • Shwayne on 04/09/2011 - 18:46

      I think 13" is a perfect size for a replacement notebook at a netbook price. (Currently have a 10" netbook.)

    • scrimshaw on 04/09/2011 - 18:59

      The Thinkpad 2x2 reportedly has issues with dropouts. Also, support isn't so good in Linux / *BSD, so if you plan to use Ubuntu, get the Intel card.

        I'm guessing those weights are with the SSD since it wouldn't be the same weight as a mechnical drive and the notebookcheck review lists the weight as 1.856kg.

    Also ordered base E320 + Intel wifi for my daughter - $393.12. Much better than many of the retail options out there with lesser chips so very good deal as far as I am concerned. The last Thinkpad I had (IBM) lasted nearly 8 years before any probs so hopefully quality is still comparable. Thanks to OP.

    The E520 Enhanced instead of the one in the OP if you're going for the 15". You get the i5 2520 and a 750gb HDD (slower) for the same price, $507.22 - http://i.imgur.com/FETbZ.jpg

    I purchased a E520 on Friday using the code "BULK2" - brought my notebook down from $660 to $552. Saw this today and the exact same spec laptop is going for 507 with the 500GB external. Called Lenovo and sent them an email, not to happy with this. Not much can be done but still, I'd like to see how well there customer service plays out.

    • manja on 04/09/2011 - 19:44

  • DisqPlay on 04/09/2011 - 19:41

    • Shwayne on 04/09/2011 - 20:06

      A more powerful cpu = potential to run the battery down faster.

  • shaybisc on 04/09/2011 - 19:59

    Cheaper to get the E520 with I-5 standard than get the E320 and pay $175 (holy cow!) to option up to I-5.

    • DisqPlay on 04/09/2011 - 20:05

      Thanks, but I like the E320 as it is portable while still having a HDMI. I want to replace my crappy work laptop with the E320 so I can easily carry it around (ie. home). BTW, the difference isn't $175. I think it comes out to be less than $50.

    • evol on 04/09/2011 - 21:25

      The e320 "Enhanced", which has the i5-2410M as standard, comes to $467.22 with the coupon…so it's an extra $77 or so to go from i3 to i5, and to get +2gb ram (the base model only has 2gb, the Enhanced model comes with 4gb standard).

      Better value to go with the Enhanced model IMO.

      There are 3 LED lights in total… and they are all power indicator lights :)

      However it' isn't really such a big deal, HDD indicator lights aren't really needed (you can hear the hard drive going anyway) and when caps lock is on, a floating icon will appear on the screen.
