    I'm looking at all the T61s there. Why do so many of them (look at the <700 models) say WXGA in the description, but don't say widescreen on the regular display page? Every model under $917 says either WXGA or WXGA+, but the pictures clearly show a 4:3 model. I'd rather not buy a WXGA machine and get an XGA instead. Is this just inattentive marketing?

    Are the outlet purchases returnable?

    Yikes. The more I browse the outlet store, the worse it looks.

    BHT, they're returnable, but you get dinged with the 15% restocking fee.
