    Thinking about buying a t60p as the prices are hard to beat right now... Called their cust. srcs but got different answers each time I called!!! Some question I have before buying:

    1) I cannot seem to find any mention of the unit coming with bluetooth? Is it automatically included?

    2) there seems to be a lot of debate over the 15.4' lg vs samsung screen, is there a similar problems with the 14' screens?

    3) I am thinking about adding a docking station (on sale as well), does it have a power button on it, or do you have to use the lappy?

    Thanks :)

    Incidently, you didn't ask them if they have any new coupons coming out before the sale ends April 2nd did you?

    No I didn't, but that is a great question. I'll call them right now........ Using the ex-student access point gets you another +-$75 off.

    Anyone have info on question 3?

    If you are on the home page, under the "ready to shop" is an education link. Under that page you can select under "student" student and alumni and then it's pretty straight foward...

    Btw, no ecoupons but see my post on flexview

    Also, they quoted me a price on the phone, after I asked them what other discount they could give me, of $1485 (w/out tax) for a syst configured at $1542 with all the online discounts...
