I was wondering. theres a R60 for sale:

－ Intel Core Duo processor T2300E (1.66GHz)!
－ 15.1" high resolution LCD (1400x1050)! It is NOT a wide screen but you get a display range like a 20" LCD!
－ 6 cell battery!
－ 1GB DDR2 RAM, up to 3G!
－ 100G 5400RPM HDD!
－ ATI Radeon X1400 video card, 128M dedicated video memory! up to 512M if you upgrade RAM to 1G!
－ Fingerprint scanner!
－ 24x CDRW/DVDRW!
－ GigaBit LAN!
－ 802.11 a/b/g wireless!
－ 3 USB2.0, VGA, S-video，Audio Out/Mic, PCMCIA!
－ IEEE 1394!
－ Modem for Data/Fax/Voice!

I was wondering, if I should jump on this, or wait to see if someones selling a R61 or T60 or T61 at around that price? my major question is are R60's good quality compared to the others?

I like my R60, but it doesn't offer the screen protection of the T60. I guess it would depend on you needs The T61 and R61 are pretty much the same construction wise. You might be able to combine some discounts and get the R61 around your price. Not really sure what they are at the moment.

Personally, I'd go with a 1,83Mhz C2D.
Otherwise I'm very happy with my R60 after 6 months use, the 15" 1400x1050 really is beautiful and a wonderful workspace, especially if you use ObjectDock to get rid of the Windows bars at the bottom like I did.

Yes, R61e is the bargain laptop.

I thought about getting it but finally settled for the regular R61. The LCD roll cage and Energy Star compliance were two factors in my decision.

Depending on what you are doing there may not be a huge difference between the T7XXX and the T5XXX. Office and Internet aren't likely to see a huge difference.
