As far as I know, the only feature present in the T's that is not in the
A's is the touchpad. Only the A's have a 1600x1200 screen and a 64MB
video card. A top-of-the-line A costs more than a top-of-the-line T.

I've heard that "T" stands for "two-spindle" and "A" stands for
"all-in-one".  The A's are intended to be "desktop replacements".
