    I'm not. It is obviously a trend that Tuesday's often mark the day for releases and sale announcements. I think the July 4th sale will probably start tomorrow, but I really doubt that we will see the T61P or in my case I just want a T61 15.4" with nVidia discrete graphics (I don't care if it's called T61"P").

    According to this presentation that looks like official information:
    http://67.59.168.158/firstlooks/pxw141/en/player.html
    If you navigate to 6. Features and Benefits, then navigate to the red bullet on the laptop display titled "Portability and display types". You get the following information:

    *Available May 9
    T61 14"W - Integrated & Discrete (32 bit)

    Available May 31
    T61 14"- Integrated
    T61 15"W - Integrated & Discrete (32 bit)

    Available July 11
    T61 14"W - Discrete (64 bit)
    T61 14" - Discrete
    T61 15"W - Discrete (64 bit)

    FACT: The May 9th date happened.

    FACT: The Thursday May 31 date happened (partially) we got integrated but we didn't get the T61 15.4" discrete.

    FACT: Something is gonna happen on July 11. I really doubt that we see a T61P or a T61 15.4" with nVidia discrete graphics before July 11th.

    I am finally content playing with my new T60p. The hell with T61p :)

    It took me almost 5 years to go from a Pentium III to Core 2 Duo, I'll worry about newer models coming out when they have 8 core processors...

    July 11 for the 15"W Discrete.... =(
    I'm guessing T61p is getting pushed to August? =(

    I'm starting to think I should have kept the T60p i ordered.

    Sure it is...

    Patience. Besides, the current promotions have nothing on their winter holiday sales
