    Does the T61 with the Expresscard slot come with an SD card slot?

    Because, SD is all I need, and I'll pass on the media card slot if I can have the Expresscard slot and just SD.

    Can anyone provide some insight to this? Thanks.

    according to the review it has 1 PC Card Slot, 1 ExpressCard slot (optional media card reader and Smart Card reader) and on the config page for the 14.1 inch t61, the options are

    YOu can also try a pcmcia(pc card) or express card Memory Card Adapter

    unfortunately, you cannot configure it to have an express card slot and an sd card reader (thats what I want, and probably what most people want). just get an express card adapter. you can always change an express card into different things, but you can't change an sd card reader into something else.

    Truth. Thanks for the info.

    I was just wondering, as apparently the X61s has both an Expresscard slot and an SD reader, figured Lenovo might do the same for the T61. Thanks.

    I believe the T61 15.4" has the memory card slot in the back and comes standard on all.

    Then you have choice between:

    PC Card Slot & Media Card Slot
    or
    PC Card Slot & Smart Card Slot

    Cool. I was inquiring about the 14.1", I should have specified, but this is neat to know.

    Did you see that confirmed somewhere, or just assuming it because it isn't a configurable option on the 15.4"s? I saw the lack of it being a shortage on the actual part, not that it was now integrated.

    I have access to some leaked information/pics for the thinkpads (these were posted on the thinkpad forum):

    I was actually wrong about the media card slot... It's on the front, not the back. Any way, same difference only better.

    Here are the pics:

    All of these pics in the above two posts were out on May 23. Just showing you what I found. I think they are legit, but it's up to you to decide for yourself.

    Yes, I saw them, and I did miss that myself when I first saw them, but I thought ryengineer was the one who had access? ;)

    rye said himself that was a T60 he compared the T61 to.

    Hey, I'd sooner prefer the occasional slipup happen, than people be tightlipped altogether. ;)
