New laptop skool me.

It looks good except maybe the power supply.  Are you sure it's a 65W?  W-series Thinkpads generally come with humongous brick of a power supply.  There are 65W Lenovo power supplies, but even the smaller laptops generally come with a 90W.

My personal recommendation is to avoid AMD laptop processors.

They run stupid-hot as compared to Intel, and you'll get heat-shutdowns if you ever try to use the laptop on a bed your actual lap/pants or a couch etc.

So much for you being on a budget.  

For what it's worth, I've read that people are WAY happier with the 550s than the 540s. People who upgraded from the 520-530s were disappointed with the changes to the 540. Supposedly Lenovo listened and improved the 550.

All that was 810 after the discounts.

That's a great deal for one of the W series!
