Go through visaperks.ca, the SL410 with 2.53GHz processor and 4GB ram is 
~$850. If you call someone on the phone and are nice when ordering, you 
can stack coupons too, and would probably be able to get it for $750. 
Better prices will come along if you watch for sales too. The SL series 
are actually rather nice to work with too despite being the entry line 
in Thinkpads.
