    Thinking about cancelling my order in sig and ordering a T60p because of centered screen, magnesium screen casing, tried and true design, minimal performance gain of Santa Rosa. What do you think?

    There's no bluetooth option for the T60p, does it come standard?

    That's the direction I went.
    1-T60P was top of the the reviews just few months ago;
    2-It has a 4:3 15.0 inch IPS Screen that I have read many people rave over; 3-It is not a widescreen which is next to useless for the word processing I do);
    4-The size of the 15 inch compares well with a 14 inch widescreen of the 61 series;
    5-While not cheap by a long shot, it is a relatively good value if you need the performance;and
    6-It is available now.
    My 2 cents.

    The T60p right now is not really that great of a bargain. Last year over the Christmas holidays, you could have configured a fully decked out, and I do mean FULLY decked out T60p for around $2500 before tax. Now the same configuration will run you over $3200.
