Hey I called up Lenovo (formerly IBM) and found out that they have educational discounts on ThinkPads. The sales rep told me that with the eCoupons they launch, you can save up to 34%. They said I should check back often as the deals are always changing.
The web site is:
www.lenovo.com/students
I know money can be tight so it's nice to be able to save some coin when you can.
