    Since we all know a T61p review is coming in the next week or so, I thought I'd start a pre-review wishlist thread :D

    I'd like to see...
    1. An examination of the screen under outdoor/sunlight viewing conditions
    2. battery rundown test with dvd watching / web surfing
    3. CPU temperature under full dual core load (multiple runs of prime95, whatever, just under load)
    4. GPU benchmark comparison to other laptops with geforce 8M based cards, such as Asus G1S or new MacBook Pro. Where exactly does this Quadro card line up?
    5. Wireless 802.11n performance test... transfer speed (full 300mb?), range testing, etc.

    What do you all want to see?

    1. 18 cell battery
    2. X3100 for better battery life
    3. 1600x1200 resolution with a 4:3 IPS screen of course
    4. 64gb SSD HD
    5. Giant antennas that put a semi to shame, maybe even a smoke stack out the rear for heat exhaust.

    Amusing list, but I hope this thread does not derail quite that fast.

    I want to know just what NVIDIA gaming card the Quadro FX 570M is based on, and whether or not it can be fitted with the GeForce drivers.

    That's about it!
