I've searched far and wide to look for the standard 14 inch T60's, I wouldn't mind
the T61 as much but it only comes in WIDESCREEN for now, not to mention there's
no "IBM" badge on it anymore(not like it matters much).

Anyone know what's up with Lenevo? Or where I could find a decent priced t60 14''?

It really bothers me that they took it out. >=o

I just ordered one from Lenovo with a 14 - it is to be shipped 28 May. As far as I know, it is still there in their T60 customization menu.

OK - I see that the 14 has been discontinued in the T60 - I got in before they stopped building them. The 14 is now available in the T61. It's the next generation of the T series.

The mid-May changeover was well predicted. So, go for the T61/14.1 TFT. Same machine, better efficiency.

Personally I prefer 14'' standard 5:4 rather than 16:10 resolution and for good reason. Even if it does have a santa rosa platform(which by the way doesn't show
anything groundbreaking yet). From my perception the 14'' standard was one of the best selling versions of the T60. It is certainly compact and well balanced,
being not too big or not too small.

I would've expected a more smooth transition rather than something as abrupt as this, not to mention their US English site is cluttered with errors right now,
so hopefully it's just a bug and in a surprise turn, the 14'' standard will come back.

the site has been outdated and riddled with errors for the longest time. They have recently updated their z series page, but they did not even bother to update their product status on the z series (they still mention z series notebooks that were discontinued).
