I was looking for already couple of days at lenovo site and still confused )) trying to find the right computer so decided to ask for your help!

I'm looking for a t6x series with
14in screen (1400x1050)
core 2 due (2Ghz+)
100mb hd (5400rpm+)
128 mb video (dont need much want to save $$$ on it)
1000+ ram
and this new wireless internet card (im in canada its not widely offered here but since planning to travel alot i know i will use it one day) not sure what its called but its a must!!!!!
CD/DVD doesn't matter

anyone can help with model number ??? i'm planning to buy it from a friend through EPP and he told me to give him the model number and i cant find exectly what i'm looking for. My idea is to buy it under $3000 cad.

one more thing, i want the extra protection with it (ex. if i drop it) which one should i get???

Please help choosing one because i'm soo confused that almost ready to give up

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Thanks! I have found couple of model which looks like what i was looking for.

One more question. Is it possible to add wwan card later on to any t61 model or it has to come with the card ???
If i understand it correctly each provider supports their own cards, so if i would wont to connect with different provider i would need new card? right or wrong?

It seem to me that in current situation with providers its cheaper to stay in hotel with wlan when to sign up for wwan access )))

Thanks.

Adding the wwan will depend on whether or not the one that you get has Turbo Memory. My T61 7664-17U has 2gb regular ram, and 1gb Turbo ram....though, I am not really sure what it does....

Anyway, the turbo memory apparently takes up the same mini-pci slot that the wwan is in....so, if you system had the turbo memory, you could always remove it, and add the wwan...

and adding WWAN isn't a good idea if you're in Canada. I think it's for Verizon and i'm not sure if you can sign up with Telus up there with it. Maybe you can but i've only looked on the US site and not the CA site to see if they have different provider options (it would make sense if they did)

It's a sweet thing to have but on the other hand, $60/month for data for someone like me isn't worth it, i'm usually close to WiFi so i always just go there instead. I can get HSPDA from AT&T for cheaper because of my FAN discount but still i wouldn't get it for my laptop. I might however buy a HSPDA card oneday so i can stick my SIM card in it if i have to

There is pre-configured 7664-16U available through visaperks.ca for $1,499. If you can get it even cheaper, good for you!
