Excellent coverage of new rollcage, new fan design and air vents. Great first thoughts review, makes a good read.

That article says that a webcam is available but it's not an option on Lenovo's site and the pictures that I've seen of the T61 don't show one. Maybe it'll be made available later.

Actually, I think Lenovo had the option on their page yesterday, but I might be wrong.

Eh, doesn't the T60 already have that magnesium roll cage? And what's up with the heat sync? It looks to me like mine (T60).

T60 had the rollcage only for the base ... In the T61, a new one has been added for the LCD housing.

no more z series according to this article

i think that's good as the thinkpad lineup needs some consolidation.. it's way too confusing (i think) with each one series having so many different base configs. something along the lines of apple with only having a couple base configs and letting customization do the rest

New trendy ThinkPad logo with white lettering and red dot above the "i". Business buyers can still opt to have the red, green and blue IBM logo on the T61 if they prefer it.

Rejoice!

no initial standard screen offering (though that will be coming)

Rejoice!

Argh, but it looks fat and rounded. I don't like fat and rounded!!!

Atleast it's getting better...
