    It'll be here in a few days! I'm getting excited!

    It's a 2613EJU - 1.83GHz Core Duo, 15in FlexView screen, 100GB 7200RPM HDD, 1GB RAM, DVD-Burner, and x1400 GPU.

    I'll be writing up a review once I get it, so be prepared.

    That's strange, I wasn't aware of any T60p with X1400. I also can't find the model number you posted via searching. Is this a custom model for an institution? If so, I'd be interested to find its full specifications.

    Best of luck with yours, as well!

    I didn't remember, I did a lot of recommendations, it's hard to keep track of them. ^^;

    I'm glad I was able to help you out back then. =)

    I can only assume Smith meant T60 since it has the x1400, T60p has a Fire GL. Yay! I can annoyingly correct people!

    Nu hu! No you didn't! ;-) I have a T60 2613EAU which is most definitively not a T60p (not that 2613 can't be). Everywhere I look in the June tabook, every T60p is FireGL V5200 256MB card. Some pages like the one where the 2623 is, which appears to be the updated 2613, has T60's and T60p's. You'll notice that it explicitly lists them as T60 and T60p...and the T60p has the FireGL. Obviously I don't have the older tabook or I'd look for the model you listed and debunk based on that...but I do what I can! :p The only reason I'm spending time arguing this point is that I can't find any other difference! Why would they call one the T60 and one the T60p if there wasn't a significant difference? You can get a Flexview on a normal T60...3 year warranty? I have 3 years on my T60...what's the difference then? (frustrated face goes here!)

    I think my Thinkpad is wonderful...of course I'm comparing it to my old Inspiron (ick!) which I never had a problem with except for the day I got it, it had Windows Me on it. The Inspiron was just a big plastic block...not very nice. I mainly didn't like all the plastic flex in the chassis. So T60 didn't have much to overcome! Still, it is way nicer than any consumer notebook I look at in the stores, and cheaper (a friend's EPP) for the contents.

    HUH! How silly of me! My mind keeps slipping...I've been sitting here thinking that the difference between a T60 and a T60p was a 14 inch versus 15 inch screen. Wow...I feel very dumb now. Time for me to scuttle away and crawl into a corner. :/

    Yeah, I got mine through EPP, as well. I also had/have an Inspiron! Mine's not too bad, but the plastic of it's really starting to get to me. It feel so soft and cheap...I can't wait for my T60 (NOT P hahaha) to show up.

    Ahh...yeah! Mine recently left Anchorage and is in Kentucky!

    I have a feeling that it's going to arrive just as I'm leaving for a week... :/

    Yes! It arrived today!

    My first impression was great. The whole thing just feels so solid once you pick it up. It's a little more plasticy than I had anticipated, but it doesn't feel cheap at all. There might be a plastic covering, but you can definitely feel the solid support of the mag alloy underneath. It also runs very cool and the screen's very bright (FlexView).

    So far I'm quite impressed, I'll be writing up a review with benchmarks, etc. soon.
