    I was under the impression the 15.4" t61 comes with a 90W AC adapter? I just received my T61 right now and it came with a 65W AC adapter. Just wanted to double check with the rest of the board.

    If memory serves, Lenovo only ships the 90W AC adapter if your notebook has discrete graphics (it draws more power).

    That sucks a bit if you plan on adding peripherals like cards and usb drives. :(

    I run the T60 listed in my sig with a 65watt supply roughly 60% of the time on my bed, since it is so small. Never had any problems, it just charges at a slower rate under HEAVY loads (cores maxed, 40+ watts). You wont notice a thing besides maybe 30 minutes added onto your charge cycle if you are encoding video or something else really tasking at the same time.
