    As of now, the Canadian site is the only place in N. America that lets you configure a T61p with the 570M card. Finally we have something the Americans don't muahaha.

    Somehow they took off the 570M on the T61p on US site and replaced it with the 140M...still 6459CTO, WUXGA screens.

    So who thinks this is a mistake and glitch in the system or maybe they have no clue at Lenovo? :rolleyes:

    Well, it was nice while it lasted. Today the 570M option is back up on the American site, but has disappeared from the Canadian one.

    I wonder what they smoke at Lenovo.

    When I did this order process, the 570M did not show up until you select the WUXGA screen. I note in your photo that you still have WSXGA selected.

    They changed that a few weeks ago. You had to go first to the mobile workstation option under the T61s. Once there, all the machines had 570M GPUs, whether you selected the WSXGA+ or WUXGA screens. Earlier this morning, the option had vanished.

    And now, mirabile dictu, it has reappeared once more -- but with higher prices, no doubt because their Boxing Day sales are over.
