    Hi,

    Are the T60 considered widescreen? They seem to have "widescreen resolutions"?

    The T series is not widescreen. If you want a widescreen ThinkPad it would be the Z series.

    So Lenovo does have any dual-core widescreen offerings?

    Not currently, however the Z61T will be widescreen and have a Core Duo CPU, if I recall correctly.. It's not quite out yet, but if you want a Core Duo Thinkpad that's widescreen that bad, it wouldn't be a horrible idea to wait.

    If you want a ThinkPad with Core Duo you'll have to wait until about August for the Z61t and Z61m. However, the Lenovo 3000 N100 notebook that zazonz reviewed is a Core Duo widescreen notebook.

    I don't think the N100 is a sturdy as the Z series or T for that matter. The glossy WSXGA screen to makes it worth considering if you like glossy screens.

    Officially, May-June. That's just when they're going to be released though. Seeing as many of the T60 models are still quite slow to ship...
