Extremely nice build quality, Intel Core2 Duo T7500 15.4 1920x1200 resolution, 1x2GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro 570M 256MB. I found out the new price were 3000 dollars in 2008. I'll put in an 120GB SSD drive I have laying around and upgrade the memory to 4GB and replace my current laptop with it. That resolution will be so worth it!
Beware of GPU failure. This Quadro could possibly be affected. Google for thinkpad t61p gpu failure.
I think it is possible to take precautions, Dell had a firmware update for their Latitude notebooks which changed the fan control so the GPU was more evenly cooled.
Besides form that, great machine!
