    I placed the order on 1/27/8 and I received it on 1/29/8. Pretty stinking fast huh? Here is what I bought:

    T61p
    2.2ghz
    WUXGA (Samsung)
    1gb Ram (stock)
    80gb HD (stock)
    Wireless a/b/g/n
    Wireless USB
    Bluetooth
    Fingerprint Reader
    9-Cell Battery
    4yr depot warranty
    $1,685.00 shipped

    Then I bought a Hitachi 7k200 100gb and 2 x 2gb Ram for a total of $180 from Newegg (shaves off at least $300 and guarantees a 7k200 model).

    Overall, I'm very very impressed. Though I wasn't ready for the font size. Holy crap is 1920x1200 small! Well, lucky thing is that I have good eyes, though it is annoying switching back-and-forth from my desktop 21" at 1600x1200 to this. My eyes have trouble adjusting. Plus, with this resolution I have to sit somewhat close to the screen. But nonetheless, I'm happy.

    Also, I ended up with the samsung panel, but I have no complaints. It's flawless in my eyes and I have an eye for detail.

    One more thing. I suggest any buyer (of any laptop for that matter) pick up a spyder2express color calibrator. My screen had a very noticable blue tint to it, but once I calibrated the color, it's flawless.
