T61 online ordering AC Adapter question

hi,

I'm using thinkpad.com's online order form for customizing the specs i want for a new T61. i have a question:

On the 2nd page of the order form, near the bottom is a section called "Power" accessories that asks if you want to buy the following items as accessories:
-- ThinkPad and Lenovo 65W AC Adapter - with US/Canada/LA Line Cord [add $39.00 $29.25]

-- ThinkPad 90W AC Adapter (US/Can/LA) [add $59.00 $44.25]
Both of these items have no checkbox next to them as default. My question is, if I don't check either of these items, will my order not come with an AC adapter? They don't really make it all that clear....I don't want to risk buying a new laptop only for them to not ship an adapater cause I didn't check one of these boxes...but I also don't want to accidentally waste money buying 2 adapters.

Thanks for helping me clear this up.

That is Accessories and services page in other words a page for the extra accessories and components that you would like to be included in with your order.

Every thinkpad is shipped with a standard AC adapter, either 65W or 90W depending on machine's power requirements.

thanks for the quick response!

are there T61 builds that actually need 90W AC adapters?

Thinkpads with discrete graphic chipset or "P" models mostly.
