Future Shop: Refurb Lenovo 15.6" Laptop w/i5-2410M, 640GB HD, 6GB RAM, HDMI, Webcam $399.99 (Hot!)
This deal has expired!
If you're in the market for an affordable and capable laptop, Future Shop has a pretty hot deal on a refurbished Lenovo offering you might want to check out. Right now, you can pick up the refurbished Lenovo 15.6" Laptop with Intel Core i5-2410M, 640GB HD, 6GB RAM, HDMI and Webcam on sale for $399.99. This is one of the lowest prices we've seen for a second-generation i5 laptop and would be great for students or even as a desktop replacement.
For a penny shy of $400, you're getting a second-gen Intel Core i5 processor with average hard drive space and RAM. The lack of a dedicated GPU means you won't be doing much gaming on it but that's not a deal breaker. The battery life (up to 4 hours) and size (just over 5 pounds) means daily commuters might want something with a little more longevity but, if you always have an outlet near, this is definitely a good buy.
The deal is live now but this online-exclusive promotion will expire on May 10. Future Shop offers free shipping on orders over $20.
We'd like to thank forum user raceway for sharing this one with us!

like videocard?
Bluetooth is on my wish list but this seems like a good enough deal that I could learn to live with one of those low profile dongles eating up a usb port.
great spec and price for a lenovo
my refurb is running strong, no problems whatsoever.
Rock solid laptop. You wouldn't regret it.
I don't know how many people game here but I would NEVER recommend laptops for gaming anyways.
It does not have the port on the bottom for a dock. Only thinkpads do. This one may be compitable with the lenovo USB dock that comes with video connection.
Great machines, and even though refurbs, you get the one year warranty. I bought a total of 4 and they were all indistinguishable from brand new.
The units do not have bt or usb 3.0. The bt is a non-issue since a dongle can be had for only a few dollars. But they do make up for it in other ways, as they have 4 usb ports in the 2 to a side config which is the most useful, plus esata, hdmi out, fingerprint reader, an aluminum shell, shock hard drive protection, 2 mp HD webcam, etc
All the units I bought are in hard use since purchase, and all are standing up great.

$399 is a great price. I have to think that fairly soon FS is going to run out of these so once they are gone, that is the end of it. The non-refurb version of this sells for about $650, so you won't see it come down to this price - it will run out of stock long before then, since these units are no longer being manufactured.
What do you think of this one for $350 ($450 at BB)

so much for "quality" refurbs.
i could live with a dead pixel, but dead ethernet is a deal breaker. goes back to fs.
