Correct. I purchased 2 HDMI 15' cables from them at separate times for $15 each. At $3 a pop it's worth a try. I just wanted to post the first deal I saw anyways to subscribe here

Here's where I found it. I saw it on twitter a couple minute after the article went up and jumped on it, it was gone in 10-15 minutes. Other deals in this article though

Picked up a pair of Sennheiser HD 598s on Amazon's 'Gold Box' Friday. $100! I've never seen them drop below $180 before. And they are already here in my hands...impressive.

I sold my sp3 to a coworker and got an open box yoga pro 2 from best buy for $599. It's the i7 8GB 256SSD. I never loved the pro 3. I was hoping that the threes type cover would be a lot better then the 1 and 2 and it's not. Typing and scrolling still isn't great and I need something I could boot up and go with.
It's interesting to compare the reviews on BBY vs the reviews on Amazon. On BBY, it's largely favorable, whereas on Amazon it varies widely.
It appears that the BBY version is a better/newer version than the version some bought direct from Lenovo (the 594 vs the 593)? Maybe that accounts for the varied reviews on Amazon?

Damn, that's a great deal! Was that online or at your local BBY? It's interesting to compare the reviews on BBY vs the reviews on Amazon.

Love it so far as well. Fast and so much easier to type and scroll on then the surface pro. Trackpad is almost as good as my MacBook.
If you find an open box, wait to see if the new ones are on sale and haggle.

Went by BBY today and looked at them. Damn, they are nice!! I just wished they had an I7 model in a smaller screen size. They're on sale this week for $150 off. They also had an I5 model open box for $730, but I want I7.

The 13.3 inch screen is pretty good as far as size.
