Wait, what happened here? There is a new item before midnight? Is this a secret Woot-Off?

I'm so confused.

Previous item sold out.

New item now. If this sells out too, expect another one to take it's place.

I want X220t，where is it？T-T

Same thing happened at sport.woot today - did they accidentally leave the queues in Woot-Off mode?

Perhaps in celebration of the new year they're going woot-off style, but have too many items in stock of each to call it a true woot off?

Looks like there's a lot of stock needing moving at the end of the year. This is like a Woot-off with less pressure.

I like this little laptop... 2.5 GHz is not too shabby. Fast drive with 320GB 7200RPM. Could use a bit more ram (for this price I think it should come with the full 8) What really I don't like is the hefty 6# weight.

... and I continue on the hunt for that perfect portable one for my college kid ... maybe it's up next?

What graphics chip is in this unit?

That's called a Woot-Off!

not impressed. The newer version of this laptop, the thinkpad L530 with same specs as this one + upgrade to i5-3210(ivy core)on lenevo's website is 659$... with coupon USPRETHINK it gets down to 626.05$ + tax... and free expedited shipping.

Now where is the deal?

15.6" screen.
1366x768.
Run in the opposite direction! Also, not a proper T-series.

Sad that I missed the X220t. It was a MUCH better buy...

so, your collitch kid could have oodles more battery life. that means he/she will spend less time tied down to a charger.

so your collitch kid will get to spend more time outside his/her dorm room. your collitch kid will be hanging out in the student union, where he/she will meet his/her soulmate.

heck, your collitch kid will probably win a nobel prize, because he/she didn't have all those low-battery woes that kept his/her classmates from performing extra-curricular research.

your collitch kid will save the world, all because you gave your collitch kid a laptop that, while heftier, had an above-average battery life.

Yeah, but then his collitch kid will discover the only one thing a 15.6" screen with a 1366x768 resolution is good for: watching movies. And will drop out of class within the 1st year...

Another laptop up on Moofi - could be a crap shoot with the battery and power cord though...

Yeah right??!! What other secrets are they hiding from us?? LOL!!!

I have this computer and LOVE IT!!!!!


PS: Buy this
1) It's awesome!!
2) This might be a secret woot off!
3) They changed it once today, maybe the next change will be a Bunch of Cheer

I know it is very unlikely, but a person can have dreams!! Don't ruin it.

Resolution: 1366 x 768

AAAAGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I sneer derisively at anything less than 1440 x 900.

My current laptop has 1440 x 900. It's a ThinkPad Z61t. With a 14-inch display. From five years ago.

Seriously, I want to hurt the guy behind this 1366 x 768 conspiracy.

Woot should have a food.woot.

It's not a real ThinkPad, so that's why you get the lesser screen. Lenovo knows their target market well, and those that care about things like screen resolution will pay for a 1080p screen.

Lenovo is a Chinese company. Buy HP or Dell and save some jobs

You do realize that you're probably still saving Chinese jobs by purchasing HP or Dell.. right?

asjxvii wrote:Lenovo is a Chinese company. Buy HP or Dell and save some jobs

Because they don't manufacture in China, right?

That's like saying buy a Chevy to save American jobs, when they do a ton of manufacturing in Mexico and Honda/Toyota both have plants here in the US.

I have this laptop. Bought from Woot!. (At least my kid tells me it's the exact same one).


So: it's a great machine. Very durable (yes, it has slid out of my hands a few times.) Operates reliably. I like the keyboard, the red trackball and the touch pad. good webcam and microphone. I like the two sets of right and left click buttons.
charges very fast, and, in general, I have no complaint about how fast it processes, etc. I ADORE the fingerprint sign on, makes me feel it is very secure. I also LOVE the lenovo password vault that will, upon my direction, auto sign me on to all the websites.

The only downside: it is HEAVY. Makes whatever bag i have it in a chore to carry. (i had the 13" lenovo's previously, and they were much, much lighter. If you are going to schlep this around as a true laptop, consider the weight . . .

i definitely met a few of THOSE kids when i was in school.....

Nothing personal against this particular lappy. Just saying that it is sad that these devices have such lower resolution compared to phones (even my nexus 4 has a far superior pixel density)

Full disclosure: the hp probook lappy I am typing this on has the same resolution as the ThinkPad does

My Toshiba Portege M200 is 6 years old and has 1400x1050 LCD. Purchased for $220

The screen resolution is way too low and the Intel HD graphics are a turn off as well.

Although if you need something for just basic home use it seems like a good deal and most importantly it comes with Windows 7, that right there makes it worth it by itself.

I'm actually expecting pet.woot to be the next one.

"Cash Grab" mode, probably. Not sure that I'm crazy about it.

FYI, the "L" series ThinkPads are the red-headed stepchildren of the ThinkPad line. They're not actually made by Lenovo. They're just rebranded. Don't expect the quality you'd find in a T or X series ThinkPad.

This thing looks like it was made 10 years ago. Bulky as fuh.

That mode's been on for months. Haven't you noticed? We went from "One Day, One Deal," to "Every Seven Days, The Same Eight Slightly Discounted Purchases, Unless We Have More, Then It's 15-20. And Check Out The Plusses and Deals."
