Tip: To locate Tiger's Lenovo-IBM laptops, click on the Notebooks tab, and then click Shop By Brand in the left column.

TigerDirect offers a large selection of brand new, refurbished, and Grade A "off-lease" IBM laptop computers. ("Off-lease" means that the PC was previously leased to a corporate customer, and then returned to IBM, cleaned up, thoroughly checked, and repackaged for sale. Grade A means that the computer appears to be virtually new, having no cosmetic blemishes.) And TigerDirect's prices are very competitive.

Tip: The only way to locate Geek's IBM laptops is to click Laptops in the left-column category list, and then browse for Lenovo-IBM brand PCs.
