Thinkpads Forum

Hello all,

This is my first post in this forum. I have been following this excellent forum for past couple of months since i decided to buy the T61.

I have been waiting for T61 with discrete graphics to come out since past almost 2 months still nothing in sight.... all other brands have discrete graphics models out.
I wanted to buy a 15.4 model with discrete graphics and with Robson/intel turbo memory and a good reliability...esp since my late last Toshiba had 4 major problems in 3 years.....all these leave me with only Lenovo as option.

Any time frame on when this specific combo might come out ? I dont think I can wait much longer for this.


Thanks

The Lenovo Direct T61/T60 order page seems to be in disarray this morning. Maybe that's a good sign that the T61p is about to be released.

This link still works:

But you can't get there from here:

I'm hoping to see some new order options today.

Just a guess.

Well, the links work again as they should with no new products.

Now when i look at T61 15.4 customization page near the graphics part i see a "Graphics by NVIDIA" logo but no NVIDIA card options. May be the chips will be available soon..... hopefully.....it has been a long wait.

On the other hand though its a few steps down in reliability...the new Inspirons are looking sweet...esp with alloy casing and all
