Apparently, I'm a ninja.

Remember how I've raved about my Thinkpad T61p?

Apparently Lenovo's been having such a hard time sourcing the video card modules used in it due to the NVidia headaches with their 8-series chips that they've discontinued it entirely. And none of the replacements are anywhere near the performance for the price/battery life yet. =O.o=

Upside though, their new replacement models are all running Intel integrated and ATI dedicated video chipsets again, so apparently I got a quirky, one-off monstrosity of a workstation/gaming laptop with my T61p.

Cost about $2600, including the 4-year, next-business-day on-site service warranty. 4GB of RAM, 80GB hard drive I replaced with a 250GB Seagate Momentus 5400.11 drive for $100, Bluetooth 2.1, Intel 802.11 a/b/g/pre-n, etc, etc, and an NVidia Quadro (yes, Quadro) FX 570M card w/ 256MB of RAM on-board, and the largest battery they offer, a 9-cell, and the Core 2 Duo T9500 CPU option.

They offer the same machine sans Quadro still, the normal T61 series. But yeah, this Quadro is very much a beast of a graphics card.
