    Is it possible? I configured one this morning with this feature. Additionally, the page had four battery options, more than two DVD options and a number of other things I've never seen on the page after multiple customizations. How can I get the camera with with WXGA+ resolution if I am not able to configure it, and where did the option go?

    This must be a new configuration because I've never seen the WXGA+ with integrated camera.

    Actually you can configure WXGA+ with integrated camera, but only with R61

    The Canadian website allows for a WXGA+ with a webcam, but I've never seen it on the American site.

    Going into the "Solutions for Education" area off the lenovo.com site and selecting my college, when I config a T61 w/ 14.1 I see the option.

    On the other hand, only 4 and 9-cell batteries are configurable; odd since 6 and 7-cell are listed on the accessories page.

    I just bought a T61 14.1" with the WXGA+ and a webcam, I agree its not on the config options, but call sales and they will do it for you.


    After I ordered a T61 w/o cam I called sales asking to cancel the order saying I might decide on buying the R61, when he why I told him I was torn on the WXGA and cam option, he then said he could override the order and get me the cam on the WXGA for $20 more, when I pressed a little more, he offered me a 5% discount. So I was pretty happy with the specs and price.

    T9300 2.5ghz, 1gb ram, 14.1 WXGA+ w cam, BT, Fingerprint,100gb 7200rpm drive, Vista business + downgrade to XP Pro option,Nvidia Quadro GPU,4 cell battery for $1020
    I intend getting RAM myself.


    I should be getting it anyday now!
