Did T61p get a graphics downgrade?

#1 Post by awolfe63 » Tue Jan 08, 2008 3:06 pm

The T61P CTO page on lenovo.com lists *new* graphics. The NVS 140M

Why would they downgrade graphics?

are you looking at the 14" ones? Those have that GPU while the 15.4" ones offer the 570m also. The GPU cuz they can't cool it enough in a 14" chassis as far as i remember (guess) :)
Current - Thinkpad T410si - Core i3 330m, 4GB, 250GB 5400RPM, WXGA+, FPR, BT, Camera, DVDRW, Gobi2000, Win7 Pro x32
Past - Thinkpad T410 - T400 - T61 - T60 - T43 - T42 - T41 - T40 - T23 - 600X

The 14.1" 4:3 T61p was available with the 570, but in a performance limited version, also with 128 MB.

Indeed, there are no 570 models to be seen regardless of 15.4" or 14.1". You can't configure one with it.
If that wasn't enough, the default choice 140M says:
"Selecting this option may delay your shipment more than 4 weeks."
:?

I'd say, call them and place your order instead - afaik, the online ordering system only carries a few models, but i admit there isn't much choices now.

it seems the ordering page fluctuates based on what's in stock vs. back ordered.
