What about the Lenovo T61 15 wide 6459CTO. Resolution is again 1680,
at least not 1440x900. But even with 4GB, a T7800 (2.6GHz), nvidia
quadro fx570m etc... it only comes to a little over $2300! So if I go
with 1600 class resolution, this seems to be the ticket, and with
1920, the Dell M4300.

Any owner of T61 out there?
