T61 or wait for T61p??

[DaveHembree]

What is everyone's opinion of getting the T61 now .... or waiting for the T61p? Can anyone comment on the benefits of waiting? i.e., better graphics card? Faster chip? I mainly use for business - no high end gaming.

Also, I have seen some posts on the T61p release date of June 5th. Does anyone have any better information (or confirmation)?

Primary reason for waiting for the T61p over the T60 would be the 256mb ATI video that (at least for my T60 it wasn't) is not an option on the T61.

I'd grab a T61, save some money, devote it to RAM or a 7200rpm hard drive instead.

I plan on waiting for the T61p, mainly for the 256 MB video card (I don't know whether it will be ATI or NVidia).

The T61's are very tempting, but it seems like most people who have ordered the T61 have a ship date of 5/30. Since a new T61 wouldn't ship immediately, I'll wait at least until June 5th to see what the T61p has to offer. If it's not released on the 5th, I will be very tempted to pull the trigger on a T61.
