Since the price was so much less than the pre-release hype I decided to spring for the x230t w/ i7 Still with a warranty extension it was less than $1300.

With the 16GB RAM and 256GB Crucial m4 sitting on my desk it'll by around $1650 for a pretty powerful little machine.

Anyone else abstain from the WWAN card just because of how outrageous the pay as you go 4g plans are from AT&T and VZW?

How much does x230 with 6-cell battery weight as compared to x220?
Now I am second guessing myself for ordering the x220 over the weekend.

I'm wondering myself about the weight delta between the 3-cell and 6-cell

I'm wondering myself about the weight delta between the 3-cell and 6-cell

Not totally sure, but believe it's in the 0.3lb to 0.4lb range.

I'm tempted to order the X230 tablet given the price.

[dimonius]

Decided to get one as well. Also used fatwallet`s 5% off cashback offer (-$94.27). Just need to get more memory and msata

That sounds reasonable. Once the 3-cell goes on sale separately (I couldn't find it on the lenovo site) I'm going to pick one up for shorter trips and around the house

Andrew would you buy one with all the bells and whistles? That's why I liked my preconfigured X220 tablet, it had everything I wanted (Intel WLAN, BT 3.0, finger print reader, 720p webcam), but when you add everything on the CTO model, it jumps to the 1100-1300 range depending on the warranty too.

the party seems over for now. kinda of the online version of door buster.
