is this coupon only special to you?

i cant find a t61p on the site, i see a pdf spec sheet talking about it,
and that it has 1920x1440 (or somehting like that), but the best i can 
see is a t61 with a 1680x1050 which isnt to bad.

its tempting, but the coupon would clinch it :) and not sure if that applies,
or if it was special to you.
