KevinCWThat is a solid deal. I have a Dell refurbished and an HP refurbished from woot, both have been great.
I bought a similar spec HP last year for about that price, if I hadn't I would be all over this.

According to the specs section it is 4.77 Lbs.
My work laptop is a T430 but I did not bring it home this weekend or I would weigh it to verify for you.
Also, after looking closer at the specs I edited the op to add that the Win 7 is Win 7 pro.

gearhoundsNot too shabby for a laptop with a SSD drive. If I was in the market for a laptop, I'd consider it.

Woot is owned and operated by Amazon I believe. They are very reputable.

www.woot.comA "deal of the day" type site.
Sometimes the deal is crap. Other times, it is wonderful.
They have catagories for computers, electronics, home decor, sporting goods (I have gotten rifle cases, backpacks, knives, rifle optics, camping equipment, etc) off there. ALso have clothing, t shirts, and pet supplies.
They generally update their "deals" each day at midnight, and sometimes is crap, and sometimes is great. I especially love their battery deals. Something like 50 AAA batteries for 10 bucks or such...
Great place to check out.

ZecpullI Just bought the T 430 on Amazon . I think it was $280 and had the Amazon free shipping and return policy. Mine came with Win Pro 7. it looks like new.

SpinZoneJust a heads up for anyone who got one of these.
The paperwork with it says the product key sticker is on the bottom of the laptop but there was not one on mine. Turns out it was under the battery.
took me a while to find it.
