Clarification Requested on T43 versus T43P

Please correct me if I'm wrong:

T43P has the following that the T43 does not:

1. 1600x1200 Screen.
2. PCI Express upgradable graphics (X300 or Mobility Fire GL)

Is that it? Because there is one *heck* of a price jump between the two.

The differences between the t43p and the t43 are:

!. t43p has the 770 core running at 2.13 Sonoma while the t43 is the older chip2.0
2. t43p has a faster hard drive(7200)
3. t43p uses the firegl 3200 graphics chip which is more powerful as well as doesn't drain the juice like older video chips..
Lastly the t43p is the newest baddest model out and if your like me, you want the best that you can afford.

I think all T43s are built on the 533MHz Sonoma platform. Anything that is still Dothan-core is a T42, not a T43. Also, not all P's have UXGA resolution (think 14.1"), but they will have the FireGL variant of the graphics chip.

Also what about the T43's with the Intel graphics accelerator, is that integrated or replaceable?

And do any of the new t43's work with Dell's 24" lcd display (1920x1200)? My current t40p doesn't seem to...

I'd be interested in knowing whether the Intel Graphics Accelerator is replacable or integrated as well..

According to this article, it's integrated...but I'm not sure if that means that you can have the integrated + PCI-E.

I spoke with a sales rep from IBM (who actually seemed pretty knowledgable)

He told me the T43 does NOT support bluetooth, while the T43p comes bundled with bluetooth.

HOWEVER, I have seen a Bluetooth T43 offered on CDW, so either the rep got it wrong, or CDW mislabeled it.
