April 17 Update, 11AM EST: There are some configuration page issues at the moment for the SL500. Lenovo is aware of the issue and is working to fix the problem.
Originally posted April 14: Lenovo.com Canada is serving up some good deals on the ThinkPad SL500 15". Use RedFlagDeals.com coupon code CAPSL500RFD and you'll be able to save an additional 15% on the sale prices here. You'll be able to work out configurations as cheap as $466.65 if you go with the minimum hardware specs. We think the Core 2 Duo processors are much more appealing. Here's a sample configuration that we liked (made using the integrated graphics offering):
ThinkPad SL500 w/Core 2 Duo T6570, 2GB RAM, 160GB Hard Drive & 6-cell battery $530.40
Upgrades are also affected by the discount code, so they are worth considering. With that in mind, the P8400/P8600 processor upgrades are within reach. The hard drive upgrades are reasonable as well. You might also want to have a look at adding Bluetooth. Shipping is free.
