T61 Update

[jdj]

I ordered the T61 from the EPP when it was first listed in early May and immediately it when down in price. I just checked the site today and they have added the new options as well as reduced the price on the processor. I really wanted the camera in the screen and that is now an option so I canceled my order and re-ordered as well as saving a few bucks. From the early hands on reviews it seems this is a really nice notebook. The rep in the EPP also mentioned their ETA on the site is screwed up and August is not a realistic date- expect 2 1/2 weeks from order. Here are the specs on my order.

Do you know the camera specs by any chance?

I recently (5/28) ordered almost same exact thing, except I added the 1 gb as an accessory (cheaper) and tossed in Vista Ultimate.

I hope we get them in the next few weeks!
