    As the subject says I just pulled the trigger on a t400 loaded just right! It has the following options:

    CORE 2 DUO P8600 2.4GHz 25w
    VISTA BUSINESS 32bit
    14.1 WXGA+ TFT, W/CAMERA
    ATI 3470 hybrid GPU
    3GB ram
    ULTRNAV(TRACKP+TOUCHPAD)
    160GB HDD/7200RPM
    DVD recorder
    7 card reader and express slot
    Intel 5100
    9CELL LI-ION BATTERY
    LENOVO 90W SLIM AC/DC COMBO ADAPTER + US LINE CORD
    L9 TIP FOR GENERIC USB

    Im super excited as my dell has been permanently stuck on my desk and I have had to use my Acer aspire one dual screening at work and its OK but no C2D based laptop. Plus the keyboard is not so great for long term use imho. So now I have my "desktop"(dell vostro), mobile laptop(t400), and a bedside "Honey I want to fall asleep with you..." computer (Acer).

    All in all I got it for what seems to be a great price, $1267 to my door. The only thing I was missing was the LED wxga+ which after some searching and talking to 3 or so reps at lenovo wont be back for quite some time.

    Thank you. I know I will be pleased, especially after using a t61p or whatever it was for a day.

    Congratulations on the purchase. I would say it's a good choice with the WXGA+ because I have the WXGA and I personally wish for a larger resolution. Have fun with the laptop.

    Yeah I needed the higher res, so wxga wasnt even an option for me. The lack of LED will def bother me a little bit, but then again Ill never know the difference.

    it will just be a little bit brighter than normal lcd's. You probably won't notice it.

    Agreed. I have never owned an LED panel in my long line of laptops, so really no skin off my back. At this point Im just hoping it ships sooner then estimated like my dell did :).

    That is incorrect on their website. I called a few reps before ordering and they said the shipping will be normal. In fact mine will ship June 2nd at lastest. :)

    Yeah I cant wait. I have wanted a thinkpad since the early 90s, and now finally my first one is in the making. :D

    Well I got a nice little email from lenovo that I have something shipped! After I change my pants I realize its only the slim 90watt ac adapter with USB dongle. So I can admire a power adapter without the pc :p.
