Description: Lenovo's ThinkPad T61 shaves a few millimeters off the company's more mainstream R-series laptops, but still boasts the same solid ThinkPad DNA along with IT-friendly features by way of Intel's new Centrino Pro platform. It may be a little of an overkill for some students, but its hardy design allows this ThinkPad to survive where others won't.

I believe some of the prices here are NOT excluding the bundled software that some polytechnics bundle in their laptops.

As an ex-NP student, I know that NP bundles software such as Microsoft Office when you purchase a laptop through them. Software that is relevant to the student's course can be installed through their respective schools for no additional fee.

My apologies for the grammatical error... I meant not INCLUDING bundled software in my first line there.

Anyone has any idea what is the new offer this year as I am getting one for my brother. But wondering whether to buy from IT show or from the school. But Poly usually offer a good range & most importantly the price is really good but depend on the models offered. Hopefully, there is good deal from Fujitsu or HP.
