    This is bigger news than the introduction of the Latitude D630 on the front page. :D

    Lenovo did a great job of having their products actually come out on time. I don't see the IBM logo though.

    Someone please help me feel better about my Macbook purchase. :(

    To me looks like Fn+F8 and Fn+F9 have new functionality.

    How is this t61 like $150 cheaper than the same exact t60 I customize? Very odd.

    $300 cheaper than the T60P I just got :( :( :(

    And it's a better computer.

    The sale is extended to the new product line :confused:

    According to the site it only takes a 4 cell battery and the max you can customize it for is a 7 cell? That's odd.

    Well you probably ended up with a better video card and a bigger battery. I am excited about this T61 but 128MB graphics is not enough for me.

    EDIT: Also, the sale doesn't give you as much of a discount on the T61 as it does on the T60p ($100 vs $250).

    I'm surprised at how cheap the T61 is. I just placed an order through the shareholder link (and used an additional 5% off coupon) and it came out to just over $1300, which is $200 less than my similar T60 config.

    Yeah it makes it tempting to buy one but I must excercise restraint and wait for one that I will know I am happy with.

    Are you sure it has an s-video port, because it's not listed in the description. I think you're mistaking the ps/2 port for an s-video port. Anyway this seems like the only solution to my problem. It's an expensive solution and not portable. They're going for about $100 on ebay so I guess that makes it a little more reasonable.
