    I'm going to buy a notebook soon unless any of the following have a decent chance of becoming available within the next month so that i can get it by august:

    - flexview
    - Thinkpad wireless a/b/g/n
    - a larger capacity 7200 rpm hard drive
    - 15.4" with the nvidia quadro NVS 140m
    - 14.1" with a larger/better battery

    I know that none of these may be made into options at any time frame, but in case there's a chance, I would like to know.

    & one more thing. is it the camera that's pushing everyone's orders back to august? if it is, is there any chance that those orders are going to be fixed allowing for people that place orders now to get t61's with cameras by august? if it isn't the camera, what is pushing back everyone's orders?

    Fourth of July sale soon most likely, use that with the other fatwallet stuff and whatnot and you'll have a good deal through Lenovo :)

    The thinkpad abgn is not ready.

    IPS lcd's on the T61 are not being made generally available to the public.
    Only to priority corporate accounts.
