    Buy.com has the Lenovo ThinkPad T60 on sale for $1,089 with the following specifications:
    The list price according to their site is $1,249 so it is a savings of $159.01 and a rather good deal considering the quality of this machine. 15" display is another plus, instead of the 14.1".
    Enjoy.
    Link.

    Why is 15 better than 14.1?

    Screen size is personal preference; however, the 15" display is more expensive than the 14.1" so that is what makes this deal even better.

    How is the quality of the 15" XGA display? I heard (never seen one) that it is dark and unevan?

    using the coupon on the lenovo site

    I can make a t61p for 1129

    this has the 8600 gt gpu, wsxga screen 80 gb hd and a 7250 2.0 cpu

    all for um... 50$? so I call this an UNDEAL this is a terrible deal. Check out the t61p using the endofyear coupon. WAY better deal
