I then signed up here for this new deal using my schools address. http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/special-offers.workflow:ShowPromo?LandingPage=/All/US/Portals/uapc I configured the two x200 tablet systems to be identical. It came down to a $3 difference...$1981 vs $1978...however, my schools official and specific link for Notre Dame students gave me the following in addition: -Mobile media base (ultradock) -DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer, Ultrabay Slim (Serial ATA) The new program offered simply included a version of Office Ultimate... I can go to my schools IT office and pick up a version of office for free so this is really not a good deal for me... So for me this deal would make me pay the same price and NOT get an ultradock and dvd recordable slim drive...
