ThinkPad T61 15 Widescreen with Integrated Graphics - starting at $695 - Get Deal
If you just planning on doing email, browsing the web, some word documentation etc than this is the configuration for you. The integrated graphics is not, however, for gamers and if you will be madly disappointed if that is your purpose in buying this laptop... get the T61 with discrete graphics for gaming.
Here is the config:
Select T61, then select T61 15 Widescreen with Integrated Graphics.
Upgrade to Intel� Core? 2 Duo processor T8100 (2.1GHz 800MHz 3MBL2) (FREE for limited time)

Please note if you are going to stick with Windows Vista we highly recommend you upgrade to atleast 2GB of memory as Vista is a memory hog. You can also pay(Lenovo shouldn't charge to downgrade this) to downgrade to Windows XP and stick with the 1GB stick, and you will be fine.

Thinkpad T61 MAXXED configuration - $1295 - Get dealYou are saving over $868 on this configuration... this laptop with this configuration easily, I mean VERY EASILY sells for from $2K+ so this is a deal you won't want to miss. Also for a limited time this is shipped, I mean you pay no shipping. I don't think a deal like this will come along again anytime soon, in fact I see the price going back up a good 400-500 soon.

UPGRADE: 15.4 WSXGA+ TFT [add $53.44] (Optional, this is a nicer display but the regular WXGA is fine for most activitues)
UPGRADE: Windows Vista Business 64 [add $56.29] (PLEASE NOTE: if you upgrade to 4GB of memory you will NEED Vista Business 64, the other OS CANNOT handle all this memory, they will only use 3GB. So if you want to use XP or another Vista version only upgrade to 3GB of memory.

UPGRADE: 250GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm [add $92.63]

UPGRADE: UltraWide Band (UWB) [add $49.87] (If you plan on using a service such as Verizon wireless this is a must... it will allow your laptop to connect easier and from longer distances than any normal wifi card could do. Otherwise for personal wireless routers this is not needed)
UPGRADE: 9 cell Li-Ion Battery [add $57.00] (If you plan on spending alot of time unplugged or just hate cords then pay the extra 50 bucks and get the 9-cell... it has a much longer life and is a much better battery IMO.
