Lenovo is now offering ThinkPad Edge E530 - range starting at $476.10 with FREE shipping. Click here to learn more & see more pics/specs.

Why this deal is hot:
Getting a business-class Core i3 laptop for around $500 is a great bargain. This laptop has a more rugged design and better keyboard than most other 3rd gen Core i3 / i5 laptops in this price range. This price is $30 less than last week.

What this is and why you need it:
Lenovo just made Intel's 3rd generation "Ivy Bridge" processors available on the Edge E530. These new CPUs have 15% better performance, 15% more power efficiency, and 60% faster graphics.

The ThinkPad Edge E530 is Lenovo's small-business 15.6" laptop. You now have a choice between a soft-touch design or brushed aluminum design, both in black; the sexy brushed aluminum costs $50 more.

You also get THREE USB 3.0 ports (the most we've seen on a value laptop yet), glossy or matte displays, and longer battery life. Like its predecessor, the E520, you still tons of standard features like a DVD burner, 4-in-1 card reader, spill-resistant keyboard, and more. Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processors are available.

Tip: When ordering, choose the larger 6-cell battery option for only $10 more! "6 cell Li-Ion Battery 62WH"
