Any one have any idea on the availability of the T60s? It's been a week since they announced at CES, but there is only one configuration listed on Lenovo's website, not a desirable one either. My T23 is dying. I need to order the T60 soon!!!

I have read they will start delivering them in the beginning of feb, but don't expect good availability a few months later.

Why announce if you can't deliver!!! ARGH!

They never said they were not going to deliver in their press release!!

Every other company I know releases the day they announce. I mean at least more then one configuration. If not, just announce and provide a later ship date.

You must know different vendors than I do. This is unfortunately common. And they have good reason to. It paralyzes you from buying a competing product since you wait forever in anticipation! Sad but true.

I will be waiting.

Let me rephase. Other vendors will announce, but don't say it's available. They state that they will be available X date.

Lenovo announces and states that it's available now. Technically it is, in one configuration, one that no one wants.

What would have been nice is if they announced and gave a date when they will really be ready. Release a ton of configuration at one time.

Patience. I understand a thing or two concerning this. After waiting long enough I ordered the T42 to learn that I was misled. I purchased a T42 on 1/3/2006 and had it shipped back without opening the packgage. I asked the sales rep if he new when the duo core technology will be available and he pleaded the fifth. A week later I re-visit the site and much to my mixed emotion the T60 was being featured.

I am waiting for the UXGA 1600x1200 spec so I can close the deal on a T60. I will not wait any longer once this becomes available.

I fear that my waiting is going to be much longer than I could ever imagine.

UXGA... isn't the font going to be tiny on that???

I just want the 1400x1050 resolution. Give me that and the dual core and I'll be a happy camper.

Lenovo hurry it up!!!

I've grown accustomed to that resolution. I own a Dell Inspiron 9100 since 2002 and can't go back to anything else.

The T60 will be available beginning on Valentine's Day (February 14th). Also, for those that want a very detailed analysis of the T60, you can find it at http://www-306.ibm.com/common/ssi/fcgi- ... anguage=en

Wow that's definitely detailed...thanks for the link.

Apparently the Lenovo Canada site has the machine ready for order, but the link is invalid for now (until Feb 14th I'm guessing).
