Wow nice find!

Those prices are pretty steep The 94402CU costs $1,999 and has a 1-year warranty? Wtf A 3-year warranty is more appropriate for a ThinkPad in that price range.

[intelbrain]

i don't understand why lenovo is releasing these now, why not wait until they have 64-bit proc. in august? I'll wait for the z62m.

[jagged]

Can't seem to access the Z61t specs page even after doing a search.

Does the Z61t come with ATI video cards or still Intel integrated video?

I find the Z60m too big for me since I carry around my laptop everyday. A Z61t with T60 specs would be nice

Unfortunately the z61t models have been removed from Lenovo site. They might be putting them up for sale again this week or next week.

As for ATI video cards, z61t has only Integrated Intel video card.

[jagged]

Sigh, I wonder why Lenovo doesnt offer an ATI card for the Z61t...I guess I have to take it out form my shortlist of notebooks to buy next ..

[tfflivemb2]

There is still a Z61M model available, and it has ATI video.

[kakashiyp]

Z61m is the 15incher and I think the z60m had ati options. They should of put it for the z6xT series.. i would of forked out the cash

[K. Eng]

I agree that a discrete GPU option would be nice on the 14" widescreen models.

[jagged]

I checked out the Z60m before but its just too big for me to comfortably carry around. Z60t's size and weight would have been perfect!!

Even if I don't intend to watch movies on the WXGA screen, its especially useful for spreadsheet work and surfing.

I was expecting that the Core Duo version of the 14" Z's would have arrived with a dedicated GPU like what most other brands offer but I was wrong *sigh*.

For my next laptop, I might just get another T60...

[budugu]

Yeah a decent one like NV110/120 like the dell 620 would have been great! i am just waiting for the one with the integrated webcam. They donot seem to be on even the most expensive of the Z61s'.

No webcams on the Thinkpads.

The L3K laptops have them though, and the pics I've seen in the reviews I've read look really good.

N100 & V100 models have the webcams.

Actually, they do have a 0.3MP integrated Webcam

Just look around for the reviews that have been done on them as well.
