This 14.1-inch ThinkPad isn't the sexiest machine out there, but it's a solid business notebook with a solid state drive and Windows 7 Professional. It also comes with Microsoft Signature, which is a service that basically cleans up the PC (takes away trialware and sample software) and includes Microsoft Security Essentials. While the ThinkPad T410 has no discrete graphics card, it should pack enough performance for a business professional. Plus, it ships for free and comes with a $100 Microsoft Store coupon, good for use toward a future purchase between now and January 8, 2012.
