Again, before pulling the trigger on this, decide if the extra $75 for a three year warranty is worth it over an comparably equipped L530 direct from Lenovo-- or, perhaps you don't like island / chiclets style keyboards. Otherwise, you can put $30 into an Ivy Bridge Core i5 (markedly better graphics) and $50 into a better (1600x900) screen; which, makes more sense on a 15.6 inch diagonal, and still have $5 left over for snacks.

L520 Technical Specifications:

L530 Datasheet:

Again the main differences between the L520 and L530 are 1) the keyboard and 2) Ivy Bridge support. Minor differences are the L530 is slightly smaller than the L520.

Anyone want to explain how this is a good deal? Dual core, tiny hard drive, not a single cutting edge feature or high end component. I'm missing something.

@dpwellman: where on Lenovo is that laptop for that price? I even checked refurbs.
Thank you for your comments, I totally agree I would take an L530 over the L520 due to the processor alone, then screen, much less the keyboard.

Not a good deal at all. Notebooks with better specs can be had for less than $500. Plus, THIS one looks like it belongs in 1998!

@stnickk: 1saleaday just had an HP laptop sale. 12 laptops under $500, almost all with better specs than this one, nicer looking too! I don't need to shop "on Lenovo" for a better deal, I'll just look (anywhere) elsewhere...

@stnickk: Not sure, but on the employee discount site that same model is like $500.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
