I guess it depends on the config. The ones I have been selling have the ATI
card with the switchable video and 160 gig 7200 RPM hard drives. One even
came with 4 GIG RAM. I imagine there are lesser machines, because the price
I am paying seems quite good for what they are.

I configured a T400 with similar specs, it comes to $759. Quite a
difference, as you point out.
Of course, the t400 is a pound heavier than the T410s, and does not have
the i5 processor.
All of this would be much easier with a bit of hands on shopping. The X301
(and X201 and X201s) is also intriguing, but at that price I'd certainly
want to see one before ordering. The reason I am considering the T410s is
because I actually had my hands on one for a day while setting it up, and
liked the overall package.
Currently my daily laptop is a T61P. Great machine, but it is large and
heavy.

I know the "s" is a better machine, but I have been selling T400s (not
"S")
retail for $750.
The hit is quite real

Subject: [Thinkpad] T410s base model
Last week I set up a customer's T410s. Very nice machine, but it was
around $2800 with upgrades and docking station. I configured one for
myself, just the base model, the only additions are:
4 gigs RAM in 2 DIMMs
5-1 Media Card Reader
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (3x3 AGN)
Cost comes to $1286.90 with an employee discount.
That is quite reasonable for a new high end laptop. I figure I can
upgrade to a SSD in a few months, and upgrade to 8 gigs of RAM when
prices
come down on the 4 gig sticks.
Seem reasonable? Am I missing anything with the base model vs. the
"Enhanced" or "Elite" models?
Also I have read a couple of reviews saying the standard LCD is terrible.
The one I saw this week looked quite nice?
