The only mitigating factor with Lenovo's pricing is that ISTM it's pretty much designed to be discounted (not a good thing for what's supposed to be a premium brand).
So with the current 33% reduction through the RFD promo, that $80 for 4GB is actually $53.60. Still more than $42 (list from Crucial) but not by as much. Same with the HDs, 128GB SSD from Newegg is $210 and the Lenovo price is "really" $234.50. Mitigating the mitigation is the fact I haven't really shopped for coupons/sales/etc. on the third-party prices. -- Andrew mailto:[email protected] Friday, June 17, 2011, 3:08:27 PM, you wrote: > Thanks Scott, > You're right, and another 1.5% kickback from FatWallet (or 1.0% from > eBates) for shopping at Newegg. > I stopped hunting when it was cheaper direct from Kingston than > from Lenovo, that proved your point which was what I needed at that > moment. :) > Crucial's direct price on that is $42, is there any reason to think > Kingston's $67 RAM is better than Crucial's $42?
