    I would like your opinion on this R61 model and if you think this configuration is better than the T61 (16U) configuration? Would it be more practical to get a R61 over a T61? Does it really make a difference between the two? :confused:

    These are off the Canadian Lenovo website through Visaperks.ca. Also these are pre-configured notebooks because Canada doesn't have the option to customize. These prices do not include taxes (I have to pay 14% tax on top of the prices below).

    Sorry, they're both 14.1" notebooks - widescreen (not sure about resolution). I don't think I will be need wireless N. Bluetooth would be helpful syncing my PDA and cell phone, but I could always get USB bluetooth adaptor.
