Very limited deal on ready-to-ship ThinkPads: up to $750 off

Most of you who have ordered from Lenovo in the past likely went through the painstaking process of checking your order status, waiting for that fateful message that your machine is ready to ship. You might not have known that Lenovo does have a certain number of pre-built configurations which can ship immediately, or at least that’s the idea.
