Just placed my order for a T430 through the Lenovo Outlet. I was lucky enough that they had one with everything I was specifically looking for, and then some - i7, 8GB memory, 500GB hard drive with 16GB cache, 1600x900 screen - and it ended up costing only $800, which was even little less than I...

I think I am going to go with the ThinkPad Edge E431, because it seems to literally be a "happy medium" between the T-Series ThinkPad and the IdeaPad Y410P. Any last-minute thoughts, opinions, or suggestions before I pull the trigger?

Updated my first post with the "questionnaire" I found on several other threads! I also went shopping around today and played with the Asus G46vw and the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge and T430. The T430 was really nice, but the most expensive of the group. One of the stores I went to said they had a...
