    Let it not be the R61...

    Actually, it kinda makes sense, bring out all the crap before the flagship comes out...

    Oh science, not this again.

    A little more than 24 hours though, remember stallin noted that the T61 was first noticed around 6AM CST? I think. And yes it will be out tomorrow or Wednesday almost for certain. I'd be willing to bet my imaginary barn that it comes out tomorrow. Note: I don't have a barn. It would be cool if I did.

    If anyone wants to take up my bet on an imaginary barn, I'm all ears. If you win I will draw you a picture of my imaginary barn and send it to you! And of course you have to do the same if I win.

    The 10th makes sense. The T61p will appear to commemorate the end of that craptastic July 4th sale.

    xnviews, between your imaginary barn and my meager (read: NON-existent) 401K savings, I say we place a bet on T61p's imminent arrival at some shady offshore gambling outfit.

    Seems to be taking forever. Even considering a AlienWare m9750

    Your barn, and my imaginary herd of goats.

    Good luck, everyone.

    I'm not sure the exact time of the T61 15.4" release on the Lenovo website. But it was about 7:45AM CST that the first thread appeared on this forum announcing it.

    I am hoping the T61p will offer a WUXGA (1920x1200) display. Anyone feel this may come true?

    My 4 year old dell has a WUXGA and would love to replace it with a T61p tomorrow if I can hopefully order one :)

    Things may be different here in Canada. But I checked Lenovo's Canadian direct-buy site almost daily for the appearance of a T61p model containing what I wanted. On the very day that the 646067U appeared, I ordered it online.

    My email confirmation was vague (made it sound like they were still thinking about when they would sell it and at what price) so I called. I confirmed that they have "accepted" my order (!!!) but that I should not expect to see it for about FOUR WEEKS. That was the day before yesterday.
