I found that MicroCenter has this Lenovo IdeaPad Z560 in stock in the store:<br><a href="http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0353128">http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0353128</a><br>
<br>It looks like a powerful machine for the money.  I am currently on an Idea pad.  It&#39;s had a few little oddities, but has generally worked reliably.<br><br>The thing I like about this deal is that I can walk in to MicroCenter and walk out with a computer.  And there&#39;s the support the local brick and mortar biz thing too.<br>

I was looking at a T520 and the T420.  Look like pretty sweet machines.  A bit more expensive than the Idea Pads and other maker&#39;s models.  I suppose you get the quality you pay for.  I am leaning towards the 520 despite the price.  Sounds like an awesome machine.  6 lbs and 7 hours.  Sweet.<br>

The T520 is out. Haven&#39;t gotten my hands on one, but if it&#39;s anything<br>
like the T510, it&#39;s a freaking rocket. I just played with the<br>
configurator and came up with this for $1728 (a steal):<br></blockquote></div><div><br>I have the T520 configured pretty close to as-quoted and could bring it to the May 4th meeting if you want to evaluate it, Jim. <br><br>

Upgraded from a T400 a few weeks ago and I&#39;m very pleased.<br>
