Is it just me or does this seem like a pretty good deal? $1818.00 total price for this configuration w/o any other discounts, ie. EPP, VISA, AmEX, etc.

I know it is not an apples-to-apples comparison of the T61 to the T60p, but this T61 configuration (disregarding Santa Rosa features and 14" widescreen) is *almost* the same as a similarily configured T60p except for the graphics card and battery, right?

So, it appears to me that Lenovo is offering the T61 at a pretty good starting price as it is actually $180 less than the T60p.
