    no, the t60 comes with x1400 and the higher end t60p comes with the firegl card. whichever one you pick thats the card you're gonna get. meaning you can't get a t60 with the firegl or vice versa. and all t60/p with the 15" are all flexview ips screen.

    But you can also get a T60 (non T60p) with a 15" flexview screen. Usually, the T60p flexview is UXGA (1600x1400 resolution) and the T60 Flexview screen is SXGA+ (1400x1050).

    To add to the confusion, there is also a non-Flexview 15" screen that is 15" XGA (1024x768).

    Probably the easiest way to tell is by looking at the resolution. If it is 15" UXGA or SXGA+, it is a flexview screen.

    Check the tabook in the sticky of this forum, there are a lot of Flexview models. There's also at least one 15" SXGA+ T60 with an x1300.

    The T60p also comes with the SXGA+ version, I believe.

    I just bought a 2623-D3U with a SXGA+ Flexview screen. It's fantastic!!

    I think the best way to know what T60 models come with Flexview is to download the tabook (a PDF) from Lenovo's site, do a search in the PDF for Flexview and note the T60 models, and ask a Lenovo rep to verify the model you are asking about does indeed come with a Flexview screen. Just do a search from Lenovo's home page for "tabook".

    I've also seen "configure to order" links posted by folks going to URLs where a Flexview screen can be selected as an option.

    Hope this helps,

    Louis
