Thanks.
The T60 is a reasonably powerful business and personal laptop.

The T61p is a professional mobile workstation.

The primary difference here is the nVidia Quadra video card and the correspondingly higher resolution display found on the T61p.

Unless you are an architect, engineer, or product/machine designer or the like who needs to run powerful CAD/CAM programs then the OpenGL Quadro video card of the T61p will be complete overkill and will also result in much poorer battery life.

If you don’t already know that you need a video card like the Quadro to run your apps then you most likely will be far better suited with the T61.
