    Am about to order a T61 but noticed on the Summary Review page that it lists only "Power cord: Country Pack North America". Does this mean I need to order the 90W AC Adapter? Or is it included (for no charge) with the laptop?

    Am I also to assume that the 2 - 72W Adapters that I used with my old T23 and T40 cannot be used with the T61?

    you get one ac adapter with the laptop.
    the ac adapters for the 60-series are incompatible with the ones for the 40s, 30s, and 20s. Dont even try it, you'll wreck your machines power supply.

    SB,

    Thanks for the info. I didn't want to assume anything.
    In the past, my employer would take care all of the ordering.

    Now I can place my order for my very first personal laptop. :)

    Thanks again.

    Maybe I'm dense but I still don't see where the AC adapter is:

    Every laptop comes with an AC adapter. How else can you charge your battery?

    Well duh, good point, but I just thought that if they could list an FCC Label,
    they could list the AC Adapter (and type e.g. 65W, 72W, 90W etc).
