I know you guys don't like tablets but this is a good deal and I can't have JLee stealing all the postings <_<

Pros:
When it came out it cost over $2000.
It's a Thinkpad.
It was one of the most-hailed business-grade tablets until the X200t came out.

Cons:
It's late-2007 model and the specs are as such.
The only screen left is XGA (although it is the FFS version that has 180 degree viewing angles, apparently)
The reason for this is that they're probably getting rid of the last bit of stock and so it won't get any lower / will probably be discontinued soon
Bezel problems (google it), but that apparently was only for SXGA+ models and it was resolved in 2007

I'm trying to decide whether to bite or not since I was holding out on a netbook tablet (Asus T101H or something). Hrmfph.

A great deal for a tablet, no doubt.

Wow, I'm going to have to seriously think about that.

my old high school had a bunch of those for a computer programming class. everyone in the class got one to take home when they had to do projects. worst idea they ever had.i know about 6 people who broke theirs.
I'm proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner I've become.
