Apex

13.3"
LED based 1440 x 900 resolution TFT, spill resistant keyboard (water goes straight
through it), solid state drive, available media bay for DVD, fingerprint reader,
available multi-touch trackpad, incredible build quality, all tucked into a tiny
2.9 lb carbon fiber chassis (and it barely goes up to just 3.3 lbs with 6-cell battery
and DVD burner)!  The base configuration comes with a 1.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
SU9400 processor (Intel's ultra low voltage unit), 1GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM, 64GB

• Use code: USESPPX301LTD for the discount (unknown expiration). 
  This takes the originally $2466 laptop clear down to $1170, an absolutely massive
  $1296 savings!  The discount is actually a percentage off, so the more
  you order the greater your discount.


• Update: If you want the DVD burner and
  6-Cell Battery, you may as well start with the "Elite ThinkPad X301" since it's
  only a few bucks more and comes with 2GB memory and Windows Vista Business (32-bit
  or 64-bit).  BTW, I'd suggest adding the Multi-Touch Touchpad for $6, it's
  a nice improvement.  Also, switch the memory to 2GB in 1 SODIMM for $8,
  so you can add another stick in later.  You're getting over $1400 off
  on this configuration.
