April 20 Update, 3:20 PM EST: The configuration fix and the renewed coupon are expected to be ready for tomorrow (Tuesday). The RedFlagDeals.com coupon will be available for another 250 redemptions or until the end of Thursday -- whichever comes first.
April 19 Update, 11:20 PM EST: The offer has been closed for now, but once Lenovo has sorted out some issues, the offer will be extended to compensate for the down time. We should have more information on Monday, April 20.
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.
