Looks like the X301 is now gone as well. Fun while it lasted!
Update #2 2:25pm EST
From a reader on Twitter: “phone sales people think coupon is dead, but web site honored it for T400s. Bought one!”
Update #1 1:18pm EST
Looks like the X301 deal has been used up – T400s still good
For the time being you can get a closeout Lenovo ThinkPad T400s for $774 or a ThinkPad X301 for $799 through the Microsoft Store.
This deal first appeared a couple weeks ago with a 40% off coupon and just a couple days ago bumped up to 50% off. Unfortunately the 50% off coupons quickly expired on both models, but they have just risen from the dead.
The details are below, but don’t wait to pull the trigger on this one. It won’t last long!

x301 coupon already expired!
I get “Code is not applicable” (on T400s)
Wow, that is an absolutely RIDICULOUS price!
Tried to use it and received “invalid” message. I talked to a rep at Microsoft and they said the T400s had been out of stock since Monday. I have no idea why they’re selling these so cheap when they can’t keep them in stock.
“Code is not applicable” that’s it.
Guys,
For anyone who’s interested in the X200; you can get it for an awesome 830$ on Amazon. Its being sold by beach audio. The specs are Core 2 Duo 2.53Ghz + 2Gigs of RAM + Windows XP Pro.
The prices went up by a 100$ as soon as I placed my order. I bought mine for $733.
They’ve got 3 left when I checked it 2 minutes ago.
Good luck.
So is the X301 sold out? Or is it just that the coupon is expired?
Looks dead-as-a-doornail dead now. Prices back up to $1500+, no reduction when adding to cart, coupon invalid, no “there was a special price, but…” advisory.
I had a T400s in the cart yesterday, but hesitated. I snoozed, I lost.
for anyone interested
i receive my t400s yesterday, but at 40% off, not 50%…opened it – screen resolution is too small, so I can return it for a full refund to MS store, or sell to anyone in Seattle area at the price I paid… dima##373##@##gmail.com (remove all #)
