    I am new to the forum and apologize if I'm asking a question that's already been discussed - my searching/browsing did not find an answer.

    In going through the order customization process at the Lenovo website, there are some options for the X61S that I do not see, notably the ultra-light display. Is there a more comprehensive ordering site than lenovo.com/us/en - products - notebooks, etc.?

    Thanks.

    I just used that website...I cannot compare the ultra light screen to any other Lenovo screen...but so far I really enjoy the screen on my x61s.

    The ultralight is the default (and only option) if you choose the 1.8Ghz - I only know this because I just ordered an X61s myself.

    If you leave it at on the 1.6Ghz model, you will see two choices. Notice, with the 1.8Ghz model in your order - it does not actually list the ultralight as there are no other options (see my order for reference)

    EDIT: I suppose I should ask...you are using the Lenovo US website arent you? For example, (I'm not sure how true this is now) the canadien portal used to have different options than the US.

    Aha. Thank you, mcbrided. Yes, I'm looking to use the USA portal.

    I found these tips to get a better price...

    Go to www.lenovo.com/cpp and use 110271 for a better price.

    Use the ecoupon USESAVEDEC for another like 10-15% or something.

    Ended up saving $902 according to the order site.
