Finally going to order the T60
Hey, thanks for all the help in the past, but I have a few last minute questions. I have it configured with a 2 ghz T2500, 14.1 SXGA+ screen with a 128mb X1400, 1 GB ram, 80 GB hard drive, and a DVD burner.
1. It says it has "Integrated WiFi wireless LAN Wi-Fi wireless upgradable and Bluetooth (Standard)" for the standard Wifi, but then it offers: "Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter" and "ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN MiniPCI Express Adapter" as upgrades, either of wich for $25. Do I need the upgrade to use Wifi, and if so which would you recommend? 2. They offer tons of different cases for it on the site. I just want a pretty standard briefcase type one that is as small as possible, and I have no need to pay for extra's like leather. Can anyone recommend one through lenovo, or should I just go to staples and pick one out? 3. Any other last minute suggestions? If I do have to get the wifi upgrade, the total comes to 1,500.08 since I configured it through my school, and that's a lot cheaper than if I configure it directly through lenovo. |

Also is 50.00 a good price for the Thinkpad Expander model case? It's the same price on newegg, but I'm not sure if that is like a name brand premium that they tack on or something. It seems like it has tons of padding along with some pockets and the usual stuff.

You will need one of those cards to use WiFi. I recommend the Intel PRO/Wireless one.
As for the case, just get a cheapie one from eBags.com.
