    is it because the t61 and the t61p are so similar that no-one bothered to do one, or is it because nobody has one yet lol...

    It would be helpful if there was one. I'm interested in how that WUXGA looks on a 15.4 laptop :)

    I started the thread linked to above and am finding it a bit wierd that a week after getting the laptop in a remote part of Scotland that no one else in the world seems to have one :) In the UK there's really only one model available and I'm guessing they built a load and sent them over for stock, in the USA it's all build to order so your having to wait 2-3 weeks after launch to get them.

    Anyways I ran some benchmarks etc and posted them in that thread, it's great for a change to buy a thinkpad and find the performance is right up there,

    I have played with WUXGA on a 15.4 using a dell d820. Its not bad if the font DPI is turned up to 120. I would say it is just as comfortable as WSXGA with 96 dpi fonts. Some apps may not always work well with a DPI change, but from what I can tell, Vista is better with this then XP was. It is much better then turning the resolution down.
