    My system just shipped with these specs. I noticed that it says "WIDESCREEN-3Y". Does that mean my warranty is for 3 years or is that something else? Also it says tomorrow I'll get a shipping confirmation, will that contain the actual components like the keyboard used? Where can I find that information?

    Did you purchase the 3 year warranty? If not, then you have the standard 1 year warranty.

    I did not purchase any warranty so I guess that's the standard 1 year. Why does it say 3Y though?

    Mine says the same thing, so it the 3Y probably stands for something else because I only went with the 1 year warranty also.

    (why there's a minimum post limit is beyond me)

    I have my tracking number and it's in transit. How do I find out what keyboard I have? It still lists:

    42V8195 SBB KEYBOARD US ENGLISH

    which is just a generic keyboard.

    I'm curious about this also, my T61 just shipped and they haven't changed anything on the order page. Maybe they send you a new email telling you what parts you have after you receive it?

    you need to get a 3-4 year warranty

    If your FlexView screen ever has a problem, nobody but IBM can replace it because the parts will not be sold/available anymore. IBM service has thousands stockpiled however, just for warranty service.

    Ah ok I got it, I missed the serial number they added onto the top of the screen. I have an Alps keyboard but I can't seem to find a listing of my WSXGA+ FRU part, they only have 14.1" listings.

    Screen FRU 42T0417

    The T60 uses different FRU screen numbers from the T61 so that doesn't help.

    Did a Google search and found a thread with someone that had the same FRU. So if they're right I'm also getting a LG :)

    It's weird that the screen FRUs for WSXGA+ Thinkpads aren't getting listed though.

    Yes these are all LG now. The hydis and idtech aren't supplying anymore. Hmm I think that's been posted already (again).

    So I looked up my parts and (as skibunny noted) have the LG panel and the Alps keyboard.

    Does your parts list show the display part?
    edit: just noticed that yours is not a FlexView, which doesn't show up on the parts list.
    My bad...

    The display part? You mean the screen? If so it does. The FRU indicates it's an LG panel.

    The LG panel + alps seems like the majority of systems they have shipped out as T61.
