    I'm thinking of buying an x61t
    Any experience with outlet?
    thanks

    just a question
    I thought SXGA+ were 1400 x 1050 not 1280 X 1024 as shown in some of the models...
    How come there aren't any 1400 x 1050 models in the outlet?

    probably a mistake as lenovo outlet is notorious for mistakes but i'm pretty sure its 1400 x 1050 when they state sxga+.

    Hmm that is problematic because those are pretty rare now...so just based on the past trends id expect it to just be 1024...

    I would call to try and confirm, not that they would necessarily have more infor than wants posted online :\.

    SXGA+ is 1400x1050 while SXGA is 1280x1024. The tablets are SXGA+. They probably don't have many because not many were returned.

    I had a pretty good experience buying from the outlet. Machine was exactly as listed, and at a great price. Do not expect much in terms of feedback (shipping updates, etc). One day UPS will just show up with it, probably without the online status changing to "shipped" or anything. At least that's what happened with me. So as long as you are prepared for the process to be a bit primitive it is fine imo, esp if you want/need to save some money or particularly like one of the slightly older models (it was both for me at the time).

    If you don't care about knowing what is going on, I think my experience with the outlet was fine.
