    I want to order my new thinkpad today but I cant choose. I will be playing some games but none that are too graphic intensive - possibly BF2 at the most. Does the z61p not have the integrated camera? It would be nice to have. Is there a difference between the intel and thinkpad wifi? Does the Z series get hotter than than the T series? Is there a significant difference in the quality of the screens? Anyone know of any Lenovo coupons or how to get the best price for a custom config? Here are my options (given all else is the same):
    T-60
    15" Flexview
    x-1400
    Thinkpad 802.11 wifi
    9-cell battery

    Z61p
    15.4" Widescreen WUXGA TFT
    FireGL 5200
    Intel Centrino 802.11 wifi
    6 cell battery

    Z61m
    15.4" WSXGA+ TFT Titanium
    x-1400
    Intel Centrino 802.11 wifi
    6-cell battery
    Money left over for some extras (carrying case, 9 cell battery upgrade)

    Thanks

    I would get the T60. The flexview screen is great.
