[ltp] T60 Preview (No!!!! Not Windows Buttons!!! Take Them Away!!!!)

[Aaron Mulder]

All 3 X60 models have integrated graphics, as does the T60.  And all 4
models list availability as February.

I did just notice that the T60 will take up to 4GB of RAM!  Though the
footnote says the OS can only address 3GB.  I wonder how many arms and
legs the 2GB chips will run.  :)

The battery life looks good too -- 4-11 hours for the X and 6-11.5 for
the T.  Even if you take that with the "manufacturer's grain of salt",
the figures are noticeably higher than for the previous models in each
series with comparable batteries.
