    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T9300 (2.5GHz 800MHz 6MBL2)[1]
    Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic[12]
    14.1 SXGA+ TFT
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M (128MB Open GL)
    1 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz SODIMM Memory (1 DIMM)[8]
    UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad) with Fingerprint Reader
    100GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm[4]
    DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer, Ultrabay Slim[5]
    Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (supporting Centrino Pro)[10]
    9 cell Li-Ion Battery[60]
    8891: Express - 1 Yr Depot Warranty[7]

    What do you guys think of the specs? Don't know why the T7800 cost much more than the T9300 when it's only 100mhz faster. Isn't the 9300 the lastest one? It's 6MBL2 compares to 4MBL2.

    I know it's going to be a hit on the graphic card with the 128 vram, but I think I can deal with it. Just looking into something more up to date, since my T43 is getting outdated. What do you guys think?

    that's a good price for the specs I guess.

    $1200 is my budget for my next laptop, but I'm waiting till the near the end of the year to see what new stuff lenovo will offer for the price.

    $1200? Pretty good for the specs, I'd say.

    The T61p systems are the far right option "ThinkPad Mobile Workstation".

    4GB cost less than 100$, so it's not worth buying RAM from Lenovo.

    re: the price, since I can rig that setup for about $1475, I'll guess the OP's total comes from using the CPP discount (to $1250). Look for a 10% coupon as well before you order it.

    Yeah, well, there's some money off the final price. That's enough for me.
