    I have searched the forums before asking. I looked at the mobile workstations and compared it to the regular 14 WS IBM T61. It appears to me that both computer P and regular ThinkPad can be selected and optioned with similar features as well a processors and ram. So what exactly is the advatage?

    Yes, well the advantages are a faster video card (Quadro FX570M, which is like a 8600M GT DDR3 in the 15" and a DDR2 version in the 14") and a high resolution screen (SXGA/WSXGA/WUXGA).

    Lying is better. It makes you either a secret agent or a moron.
