    How will I know if it has the traditional red green blue logo? I WANT that.

    Thanks

    P.S.

    I purchased through the National Association of Realtors

    I'm pretty sure you're going to get the traditional IBM logo. Usually only the big corporate purchases have the new logo.

    I just received an X61s. Didn't have the IBM logo. I don't know if there's any way to tell what you'll get.

    I bought mine (x61s) through EPP as an IBM employee 2-3 weeks ago and got the IBM logo. The funny thing is that the laptops recently issued to my co-workers (ordered by IBM) have the Thinkpad logo which i thought was comical...anyway there's a good blog post on the lenovoblogs site detailing what logo to expect based on where you purchase...
