    I talked to the Lenovo guy in this morning and then he gave me 2 model# for T61 with regular 4:3 screen.

    One is 88952EU,

    Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista Business 64-bit Screen: 14.1 XGA TFT 1024x768 Onboard Graphic Chipset: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 Onboard Audio: Intel High Definition Audio Included Modem: 56Kbps data/14.4Kbps fax Hard Drive Controller: Serial ATA Onboard Network Contoller: Gigabit Ethernet- Integrated 10Mbps,100Mbps,1000M Battery Type: 6 Cell Lithium-Ion PCMCIA Support: 1 Type I/II (ExpressCard or SmartCard or 4-in-1 MediaCard Reader) External Speakers: 2 (Internal Speakers) Warranty: Three years parts and labor (system battery: one year) Wireless:Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

    another one is 88952FU,

    Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista Business Screen: 14.1 XGA TFT 1024x768 Onboard Graphic Chipset: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 Onboard Audio: Intel High Definition Audio Included Modem: 56Kbps data/14.4Kbps fax Hard Drive Controller: Serial ATA Onboard Network Contoller: Gigabit Ethernet- Integrated 10Mbps,100Mbps,1000M Battery Type: 6 Cell Lithium-Ion PCMCIA Support: 1 Type I/II (ExpressCard or SmartCard or 4-in-1 MediaCard Reader) External Speakers: 2 (Internal Speakers) Warranty: Three years parts and labor (system battery: one year) Wireless:Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

    The Lenovo guy told me if I order it today, I may receive in the next week.
    I don't know it's true or not, but I found the above information in the Lenovo Canada.

    However, it doesn't with NV140m and 1G Intel Turbo Memory. I should go for it?? I don't know because I want NV140m and 1G Intel Turbo Memory.

    anyway, if anybody want the T61 with regular screen, you got it now!!!

    The Canadian Lenovo page is weird; I can't find the T61 without searching for it - and then it has this severely retarded "customise" option where you can't really customize anything.

    I also did a quick google search for your model numbers; the 88952FU one pops up on a few retail stores, but as usual they barely give you any detail on the actual specifications. The 88952EU returns no results.

    T Series models"

    Damn, thats expensive. For the same price you can get a much better, but widescreen T61 WITH Quadro.

    I swear to god, Lenovo just doesn't like me. Every time I click on either link, that's what I get.
