That's incorrect. A similarly equipped T470 is maybe ~$300 less but you miss out on the discrete gfx card and the keyboard. I think you're looking at the base price and forgetting the three year warranty that comes with this.
I've already bought one since the value is worth it.
- zokier 9y agoUnless I'm bad at their webshop game, it seems bit curious that you can't get a T470(p) with both dGPU and low-power CPU. Dropping the GPU the equivalent model (with 3yr warranty) comes to basically $1500, compared to $1900 for the anniversary model. $400 (~25% increase) for the keyboard seems still bit steep, dGPU most likely being more of a burden than benefit for doing anything useful (ie running Linux).
