[TriLUG] Thinkpad T60 opinions?

[Christopher L Merrill]

Based on your post, I can not tell what your criteria are -- so I'll just
throw out a few thoughts.  I had a T23 and a T30.  I almost ordered a T60 a
few weeks ago - but ended up with a Z61m, instead.  It is significantly
larger than my T30 (which is roughly the size of the new T60s), so if small
size is a factor, the Z series is out.  I found that the Z series had a lot
of extras for slightly less cost than the T series (like a media card reader,
widescreen, etc) -- so it might be worth a look.

Ping me offline if you want to hear more details or see it in person.  I'm
pretty happy with it, so far.
