    Thanks!! Hope I made the correct decision. Wanted the 15' but just could not wait any longer. Or at least wait til June, lol. If it comes out before mine ship I might call and update. BTW will the specs be the same on all T61 models.?

    Upon delivery, I believe also you can open the box, but return it for credit on another Lenovo machine (maybe even ThinkPad only?) without the restocking fee (/penalty).

    Is this correct?

    I returned an opened T60 last week for a T61.

    The rep wavied the 15% restocking fee on the condition that the new order must be 15% more expensive than the T60, which is to offset the restocking fee. So I went ahead and get a bigger harddrive a 3 year warrenty.
