Pretty picture of a T61 there; check the 2 links after the article for more complete specs.

The follow up comments regarding ThinkPad quality are awful. Read them...

No need to. They're only wild speculations without having more precise pictures and exact specifications.

Oh, I agree. However, some comment on T60's and R60's. I have found both to be just fine. The flashing blue lights of their HP's may blind them to what actual "quality" is.

The comment at the bottom of the linked page by Dustin Frazier @ Apr 24th 2007 5:03PM was clutch!

Haven't heard that phrase in awhile (clutch), but yeah...I almost wet myself laughing when I read that!

As far as the comments from the virtual "peanut gallery" are concerned when reading blogs like this is that they are worth the paper they are written on. Only when the systems are in general release and in the hands of thousands will any useful information be realized.

I'm glad people here care enough to help you with your incontinence. Funny that I just saw a Men's Depends (nice rhyme) commercial...I didn't know they ran them.

I think that's the third time in my life I've used the word "clutch," and I promise not to do it again for a long time. I confess, it was decision was shortsighted.

Very troubling when you see IT people saying the quality is bad and looking to other sources for their business laptops.

Used to be the thinkpad owned the corporate market.

And when you say "IT people", you really mean "two Engadget readers with psuedonyms claiming to be IT support workers".

I wouldn't worry too much at this point...

I am also an "IT" support person. And according to my vast experience of the corporate "IT" world, I am proclaiming that Dell Inspirons are the bestest computers I have ever used.
