Well I still haven't received the laptop. Anyone that said lenovo sucks at shipping was bang on. I ordered on the 18th of dec. last week received notice that it wouldn't ship until jan 14th due to demand from the sale they had. Now the story is that due to the unavailability of a part it won't ship until sometime in feb. sweet service lenovo
3 months is pretty fucking pathetic IMO.

I got my T410 today and it's killer... Core i7, 4GB RAM, 4 USB, 1394, SD card reader, eSATA, DisplayPort and VGA. Fully off to Win7 desktop in 35 seconds!
I'll put 8GB of RAM in it once the price drops.
edit: just saw your update... cool!

What Would Don Draper Do?
so i'm in need of a new laptop. i just wanna get a cheap, budget, everday laptop for surfing, emails, pics, video, etc. (iPad would be cool, but i'd like a large HD and usb, etc.)
kinda wanting to spend around $400-600.
lots of these budget laptops have processors ranging from intel core 2 duo, dual core, pentium t something, amd dual something, etc. does the process matter for what i'm wanting from the laptop? don't think so, but i just wanna make sure.
i've only had experiences with toshibas and dells. i see some good deals on gateways. recommended? or acer/asus?
thanks in advance.

My daughter's Toshiba Core 2 Duo from Costco was $550 and came with MS Office (home edition), 3GB RAM, etc.
The Acer laptops seem to have a pretty decent rep.

not really. I didn't but you could if you wanted too but you'd need an OEM install disc from MS. Here's a program I use to uninstall the crapware, it streamlines the decrapifying process. hence why it's called pc decrapifier.
www.pcdecrapifier.com
so when you get the PC you run said program above and check all the shit you want to uninstall and it launches the uninstall app for all the programs one after the other. Then once that's done you go to www.ninite.com and install all software you might want, FF, itunes, chrome, safari, malwarebytes, flash, silverlight, java, ccleaner and most importanly Micrsoft security essentials. Then run CCleaner and run the registry cleaner and call it a day. You'll have a pimped out PC in about 20 minutes!
So again it's
1. pcdecrapifier
2. ninite.com
3. CCleaner
4. ????
5. profit

I got a laptop from HP with the Core i5 processor on the 20th, it was supposed to ship on the 28th but shipped two days early and then Fedex delivered it a day early too.

bumppppp!!!!! need another one. Has to be 13.3-14.5 screen. Old man's lady now wants one, back to school should drive some good deals. This one needs to be under $500, I'll be in the states for a week after labor day for 5 days so American retailers are in play on this one.
