Forget netbooks, this deal on the ThinkPad SL is too smokin’ hot to even think about getting a tiny underpowered laptop. The SL series has the basic foundation of the ThinkPad series, but aims to be a bit more mainstream with a six row keyboard, available glossy display, and glossy piano black finish. Don’t forget about the love-it-or-hate-it glowing red “i” in the ThinkPad logo (see video below).
Whether you think this is an abomination to ThinkPad or just a logical evolution, you can’t argue with a deal. The SL300 starts at $499 and SL500 at $449, making these a strong argument against underpowered, defeatured, cramped netbooks. Check out the specs below and hit the link for the deal details.
