    so now.. hmmm can i get some voice out there with these two? i want PERSONAL ANSWERS with experiences to back it. please do not answer if you do not have these machines like me to prevent unbiased answers... ehehehe

    i am getting worried about the Z61m's shipping time...that's a month or so... while the T60 has 1-3 weeks

    oh... should i max out or at least 3yrs for the waranty? well, thinkpads are thinkpads.. they should last enough for everyday use

    I briefly considered the Z60m with 15" for awhile but I found it too bulky compared to the 14" T-series (I wish the Z61t came with a dedicated GPU).

    Perhaps you want to tell us what you plan to do with it. The Z61 is a bit heavy for everyday mobility. Unless you have a specific need like doing CAD, I would not get the FireGL card.
