Intel 520 120GB Cherryville Sata III SSD main hard drive ( yes the controller is Sata III)

16GB's DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10660) yes it supports it

Sony DVD Architech starts in 8 seconds and on pc it takes one minute.
cold boot, you can use google in 20 seconds

Agreed. Too bad I jumped on the Dell Inspiron 14rn deal already....

Here is the inventory checker script. From Firefox, put this in the web console after navigating to any random product page on OD's website. Don't have Chrome, but I believe you can just put it in the browser after going to a random product page.

javascript:var a=$("#skuId").val(780678);var a=$("#skuId").val();callDwrForPostalCode(a);$("#in store-main").show();void(0);

an i5 only gets a 6.9 WEI??

Quote from shadowshopper : an i5 only gets a 6.9 WEI??

WEI is based on the slowest component in your system.

I can't believe some stores still have these, they should've been clearanced out month ago. The 3 in 449.93 means it's on the third cleance pricing. Some managers are just too damn lazy....

Same computer I own and am using right now. Bought it directly through Lenovo for $450 a while back. Mine has a 7200rpm HDD which makes a difference. This doesn't seem to specify the HDD speed. With no dedicated video card, not a gamer but I still do plenty of Photoshop and some video editing and it handles it well enough (unless it's very intensive with many video layers). Don't be fooled by it's simple looks. It's a very solid, dependable laptop.

I think the i7's get the 7's and above

Quote from luis702 : I think the i7's get the 7's and above

my first gen i7 desktop gets 7.5

I just didn't think the i5 and i7 were that far apart?

Quote from shadowshopper : my first gen i7 desktop gets 7.5 I just didn't think the i5 and i7 were that far apart?

Not that I put to much weight on the WEI score but I also find that surprising. For comparison my A6-3400m does 6.5 and when overclocked to 2.4 it gives me 7.1.

Quote from godlyatheist : WEI is based on the slowest component in your system. ....

He has 6.9 for the cpu, and he is questioning the cpu score, not the overall score.

Here are some other cpu scores I have:
i5-2467m 6.2 (samsung series 7 slate)
i5-2435m 7.0 (toshiba portege r835)
i3-2120 7.1 (desktop 7.1)

Quote from shadowshopper : my first gen i7 desktop gets 7.5 I just didn't think the i5 and i7 were that far apart?

Well since you mentioned it, it got me curios so I started checking all the i5 2410's on different lappy's and they all basically score the same,

I am gonna try to overclock mine, just a little, see if its possible, So I can have all 7's at least lol

[Hi,
I can not seem to find the coupon. Do you mind sharing the coupon or guide me where to get it.

Thanks,

QUOTE=BGDictator;49763376]Office Depot has a clearance Lenovo Thinkpad for 349.93 after the staples coupon floating around (without coupon it is $449.93) pretty decent laptop...kinda ugly for my taste but to each their own. Item #: 780678
Specs:
4GB memory
500GB hard drive
4.6 LBS
3 usb 2.0 ports, 1 eSata/USB port, 1 HDMI port, 1 Ethernet, 1 VGA
Intel core i5 processor (@2.3 clockspeed)
Win. 7

I don't know how to do an inventory checker! So don't ask, if anyone knows then please post it Thanks in advance.

Amazon reviews only give it 3 stars, but if it's just for work use, nothing fancy then I suppose it's a good computer.
