<p>I am strongly considering buying an IBM laptop from Penn because of the huge deals they offer and best of all, the 3 year warranty. I want order the laptop early so it can be shipped to my home and I can customize all the settings and such so that I am completely familiar with it by the time classes start at Penn. However, my problem is that I don’t know if they will offer a better laptop after July 1st passes by, or at least lower the price of the current model. </p>
<p>Does anyone know if the pricing will lower or if the laptops will be upgraded AFTER the shipping deadline? After all, there is a 2 month gap…</p>
<p>I ask this because I am planning on using this laptop throughout my 4 years at Penn, so I want to buy the best one possible…but the price is also a factor. I don’t want to get my laptop 2 months early, only to discover that a faster, better one is being offered like August 1st or something…</p>
<p>Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks</p>

<p>The price won't change and the model won't upgrade until late in the year (like march or april.) So buy now and you'll get it sometime in august :)</p>
<p>yea i would def get it now... i had 5 of my computer-able friends to look at the laptop and they said im getting an amazing deal on it.. (aka they were jealous) so i ordered mine today... def get it</p>
<p>I didn't buy through Penn last year, but I was curious to see what they were offering this year... and I'm blown away. Those IBM laptops are incredible computers at absolutely incredible prices. I'm very jealous.</p>
<p>I just ordered one and the lock - i decided to get the docking station at newegg since it was 80 dollars less</p>
<p>On penn's computer connection website, they only show the discounted IBMs. It says that you can get a discount if you get a Dell laptop too, but I was wondering if it's as good as a deal as the IBM package. so...does penn basically give the same discount for ibm and dell? ive always kinda had a preference for dells, but does it make sense to get the ibm? i cant decide what to do...help!</p>
<p>wow, that deal is amazing! ahhh i cant decide what to do!</p>
<p>yeah i agree with megamike last yaer the dells are not as good as the IBMs. I def regret not going with penn's ibm deal. So i say go for the penn ibm deals - btw dell laptops ****ing suck. For laptops either go with the ibm or a mac (although not my personal fave)</p>
