They feature Core 2 Duo processor, 15.4" widescreen displays with CCFL or LED Backlight, Trackpoint AND TouchPad (aka UltraNav) and 802.11 along with a host of other details that make these premium notebooks within the ThinkPad series. The $899 configuration gives you almost the identical computer as the $1179 configuration. The difference is in the graphics which 99% of you won't be able to tell) and the processor which you're choosing between a 2.26GHz or a 2.4GHz for almost $200 more. Here's what I did:</p>

<ul>
<li>Upgrade the display to either the 15.4" WXGA LED Backlight for $50, or my personal choice to the very nice WSXGA+ with CCFL Backlight for $75. </li>
<li>The UltraNav with the Fingerprint Reader - necessary if this notebook is traveling a lot or if you're a student in a dorm.</li>
<li>I would upgrade the hard drive to the 250GB 5400 RPM for $95. If you're doing heavy Photoshop or video editing work upgrade to the 160GB 7200RPM drive and pick up an external portable drive for archiving.</li>
<li>If you need to burn DVD's, pick up the dual layer DVD recordable slim drive for $70. Otherwise, if you're only going to watch movies, the CDRW/DVDROM drive is plenty. (I've personally never burned a DVD in my LIFE while traveling - everything gets backed up on just archived on my Western Digital Passport Drive until I get home)</li>
<li> Bluetooth for $29 is pretty nice if you need it. And I would get the 9 cell battery just for the juice. </li>
<li>Check out. Save 10% by using coupon code: <strong>USPT500JAN</strong> (expires 1/12/09)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Upgrade your memory at Crucial (the only place I trust- memory is cheaper elsewhere but I prefer the brand name & avoid the potential headaches). You can add 4GB of memory to each slot (as opposed to only 2GB like Dell's or HP's) at a hefty $499. However, I would just get 2 - 2GB sticks for $51 each (as opposed to Lenovo's "discounted" price of $157) and have plenty of power for your brand new ThinkPad. <strong><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-268435-5033206?sid=993&afsrc=1" target="_blank">CRUCIAL MEMORY DEALS</a></strong></li>
