    I got 2 Z61ts, one for myself, and one for my sister. Both have arrived and are working great. One has the webcam, one doesn't. I went with the standard screen on both. Interestingly enough, the one with the integrated webcam has a slightly larger screen, 1280x800. The one w/o a webcam has the slightly lower res 1280x768. Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be the other way around? If you look at the top bezel on each laptop, you can notice with the naked eye that the webcam model is a bit "thinner" in the bezel. That's what got me to check the resolution. Practically, this won't matter b/c who's going to miss 32 pixels. But it is something that bugs me a bit. Why would they do this? :confused:

    If it helps you feel better the 1280x768 screen is rated at 200 nits for brightness while the 1280x800 screen is about 8% dimmer (185 nits).
