Yesterday, I broke down and ordered a Thinkpad R61. I had originally planned to go with the T61, but I did some research, and found that really the only difference between the two (I got the 14.1" R61) is that the T61 is slightly thinner and lighter (but not by a huge margin). Both have the LCD roll cage (NOTE: the 15.4" R61 does NOT have the LCD roll cage, whereas the 14.1" model does), they're both built like tanks to withstand my abuse, and it's about $150-$200 cheaper than the T61. The total price of the machine after all the discounts was $958.15, not a bad machine for the price. Yes, I know that Centrino 2 is coming out next month. Having the absolute latest and greatest is not really important to me (except in the operating system realm :) ), and I think I''ll really enjoy it and it will last awhile I'm sure. Of course, the included Vista goes bye-bye quickly and gets replaced with F9 :)
So here's what I got (note the 5/22/08 over there, that's the estimated ship date :( ):
