That's a great deal for resale actually, but if you plan to use it yourself keep in mind almost all of those listed as having multitouch display end up being the pen only "outdoor" display. There were lots of complains from the previous thread when they were $651.

Not sure if I regret getting the a10 instead of the i5.... Ah need to go to bed contemplating decision.....

How much can I resell it for? I was actually going to use it for myself. I do not like reselling laptops, too much of a hassle and liability.

What issues were you talking about?

All Ivys will have HD4000

Every Z580 has that error in the specs ever since its release.

You can probably sell it for a little over $700 I guess, of course minus roughly 10% ebay fee then shipping so you can make $80-100. The display is not the advertised finger sensitive multitouch display, but rather the "outdoor" display that you have to use a pen to operate. Check out this thread, all XB2 model number machines turned out not equipped with the advertised multitouch display.

Couldn't get the Z580 3rd gen i5 but I got a Thinkpad Edge E530 with the same specs for $326 + tax. Pretty happy!

What exactly does that mean? I read through the thread but couldnt really get much info. from it.

Means you don't have the multitouch display, so you cannot use fingers to navigate the windows interface, especially if you upgrade to Windows 8. That's a huge selling point for the x230T is that with Win 8 it's effectively a tablet. But if you are fine with using the included pen to navigate the touchscreen then it's not an issue. I have the feeling that using it as a tablet is not very important to you so I think you're gonna be happy with it.
