Nice machine. I'm kinda jealous.

 

I am 100% jealous.

 

i'm envious...

darn it, the z60m is still in very limited supply here in my country (philippines) if it's already available here i should have bouth that unit instead of the Asus A6 series (Pentium M 780, 1gb ddr2, 100gb hd, dvd multiwriter, x600 graphics, 15.4"wxga, built in cam and mic, bluetooth, wifi, 3-in-1 card reader)

 

wow dude, that's one souped up configuration for a seroiusly great price! You will like

 

I think the Z60M's are in pretty good demand. It may take some time to receive it.

I hope they don't cancel the order for lack of supply.

If they do, I hope they do so while there is still time for Plan B (25% off)

 

$1844. You know how many kids you can feed for a whole year in poor country with that kinda money?!?!?!?! A lot! But then again, it's a beauty and the beast at the same time and no one can resist it. i'm almost jealous.

 

This is the only thing that's stopping me from getting this beast. What do you guys think? is it WSXGA or WXGA?

my first post, glad to be here

 

It says WXGA on IBM's website.

 

Received shipment confirmation from Lenovo today. Z60M ordered 12/03/2005.

Quicker than I expected based on other posts I've read.

 

congratulaitions, wish you have it as early as possible.

 

Congrats on the machine. If I was in the market for a larger (IMO) 15.4" desktop replacement/occational travels, I would definately be taking a look at that machine. Actually, in the review done on this site, three notebooks are compared, included this one, as well as a 14.1" notebook which is also appealing. This machine has a nice display (brightest I have heard out of the ThinkPad line), but the 14" one not as good. As the screen is the part of the notebook one will be staring at 99% of the time the notebook is in use, it is a must that the screen satisfies one's needs. Therefore, I didn't take too much interest in the 14" widescreen offered by IBM.

Nevertheless, great deal. I've seen a few good deals offered through AE and IBM.
