Difference between the different T61p on the UK website?

[agarny]

The title more or less says it all, but to avoid any misunderstanding: looking at the UK page that lists the 7 T61ps with a 15"4 screen (http://tinyurl.com/2xuwr9), I can only see a couple of differences between them: the fax/modem card and the type of warranty (carry in versus on site). Are those really the only differences? If so, what's the point of so many difference models? I am puzzled and would be sure I have got things right before putting my order through...

Ugh, yeah, I'm really confused

I'm looking to pick up my first ThinkPad, a t61p, but I have no idea which one is which, or what features they have.

Did you manage to figure it out in the end?

I can only really see the NH36XUK most places online. Dabs seems to have a good price at the moment at £1469.99.

It seems most people are getting ThinkPads from other suppliers and made to order though.

Ah well, if anyone has any tips for a new ThinkPad buyer, it's most welcome. This is much harder than configuring a Dell, haha

I only found 6 T61ps with "UK" order numbers, 2x 14" and 4x 15,4". The difficulty comes with the fact that not all the descriptions are full. Heres what I do know;

the two 14" are pretty much the same except the UI03FUK has Intel Turbo Memory which the UI03DUK doesn't have.

the four 15,4" are all pretty similar, but here goes - the NH05GUK has Turbo Memory which none of the others have. The NH05KUK and NH95KUK are the same, but the NH95KUK has On-Site warranty. That leaves us with the NH05FUK and as far as I can see is that the Wireless "n" is not disabled, as on the 05K and 95K.

Hope that helps a little.
