    Two more z61t are listed on the Lenovo website now. The models are 944037U & 944038U. Both has WXGA+ screen ( 1440 x 900). Almost the same spec for both other than the processor, one is Core Duo 1.83 and the other is 2 GHz.

    Doesn't come with OS installsed & Hard Drive installed per the customization page. Pricing is still weird since it's showing up as $1,000 and $1,100 for those two laptops but when you try to customize it the price jumps about $300 more.

    And there is no option to add OS, HD & Wireless yet. Shows error after clicking ADD TO CART. It might take a while to get things settled I guess.

    Actually when you click customize, it does have RAM (256 MB) and an optical device (CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo). Probably that's where the difference comes from. Anyway, RAM prices are well astray... 2GB is $1945?!?!

    And, resolution for the "weird" models (the Z61t's, 14.1") is 1280x768, not 1440x900.

    I got one in the cart allright.. checkout seems to work.. wonder if I should go ahead and purchase it? :D Will they invoice me for the difference later, when the price comes out right? Well, let's try..

    Edit - if you choose customize, you cannot proceed any further since it says that OS and HDD are mandatory fields. And since there are no options for these...

    l can't get to the customize page for the z61t, why? The first two links in the 1st post lead me nowhere and l can't find the z61t for sale on the site anywhere.

    it looks like they pulled them this morning.

    I'm assuming they will be back up on tuesday when they were actually slated for release :)

    l heard that Lenovo takes a while to build and ship most notebooks; if l ordered this next week would it be in BEFORE the end of June? l know no one here knows for sure, but i'd like to hear about your previous experience.
