Interesting, but it has a really slow CPU:

And the normal, everyday price for it is lower at both NewEgg and WalMart. This "deal" at Woot! costs more. And you also pay additional for shipping at Woot!, NewEgg and WalMart ship this for free.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/46030886?wmlsp...649&veh=sem

I might actually consider buying one of these guys, maybe, if it weren't for that slow CPU (but it IS a "Chromebook", so you really can't expect much in the way of performance in the first place).

Def not worth it. For one thing the quality of the lenovo's is not what the quality of the thinkpads were. Second you can pick up a much faster business grade laptop for less.
I just bought a Dell Latitude 6230 for $279, its an intel i5 not a Celeron, 4G ram and an SSD drive.

Chromebooks are massively dependent on an Internet connection. Does this come with ruggedized Internet? If so, sign me up! grin
