wtm0325 bro, I get this baby with great price from US. If buy at malaysia with what i pay now i think i only manage to get R61
 I found out that this X61 wireless (with 50% signal) is alot more stronger then mt T60 (50% signal) Even Lenovo take over IBM i still very very like this ThinkPad, the keyboard still the best i've ever land my fingers on Small machine (like a toy) but come with very good keyboard and dont run hot!Cheers! |

QUOTE(V3000 @ Aug 12 2007, 05:13 PM) Hello Bros! Wow, V3000, you are simply awesome, owning 3 notebooks, all very recent models. Congrats on your latest purchase. The X61 is a nice little machine indeed.My baby ThinkPad X61* finally be with her papa, waited for 1 whole week to reach me from US,Tennessee by Fedex. *This Japanese lunch box still carry IBM logo Nothing much i can complain couse this baby are FAST and alot more lighter then my ThinkPad T60 and Dell 640M. With 4 Cell batt this baby last for freaking >3.5HOURS* browsing pages and some office application. *With lowest proc speed and wireless set to 50% signal which already very strong. My X61 spec: Windows Vista Business (Convert back to XP) By calling Microsoft. 12.1" XGA TFT Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 (2.0GHz, 4mb, 800MHz FSB) Intel Graphics (GMA) X3100 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz 120GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG 4 cell Enhanced Capacity Battery Below is the pic (sorry blur pic, taken by cheap handphone) I'm also contemplating on an ultraportable, since my 14" nc6400 is still a little heavy to carry around. Wish the X61 has a touchpad (I can't use the trackpoint). |

I hardly notice it when i pack it in my small bag I think i'll use it for a very long time.. hopefully it wont let me down...

Bro, before i also think that "Trackpoint" is hard to use but after use it for awhile i think its same like touchpad but the speed is slower (I dont know how to tweak it).. but as a bonus u only carry 1.5kg lappy with u I'm also contemplating on an ultraportable, since my 14" nc6400 is still a little heavy to carry around. Wish the X61 has a touchpad (I can't use the trackpoint). Not to forget, this little genie work real fast and dont run hot on ur lap Peace! |

Hi, all thinkpad lovers! I'm a thinkpad R40 owner and I realize that my laptop is running slower and slower. It is 3 years old so will it be the ram tat is wearing out? If so, I'm planning to replace my old ram with a new one. Is there anyway I can check for my ram information without opening it?
Thanks for your time! |

Hi fellow thinkpadians, t60p user reporting in.
@ vit: Care to elaborate more? ie: do you mean you have formatted it and reinstall but the laptop still feels slower compare to last time when it is new? @ babymiki: IMO though, current Thinkpad model doesn't have a good model for gaming as their graphic chip is the low end ones. To be exact, whether is it suitable for gaming or not it depends much on the graphic, regardless of which thinkpad model. Google up some gaming laptop graphics to get some ideas. |

Yo! Hail to all ThinkPadder
myliew: May i know what driver is that? Why dont just use ThinkVantage System Update program to update ur hardware? Vit: I dont think lappy will run slow after years.. try format it or add more memory Babymiki: ThinkPad can only run old game nicely, so if you want to play 3d game nicely try get lappy with good dedicated grapx card in it. But.. ThinkPad is still ok for MapleStory awetan: Nice model you got over there! |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « hi liew, Pls follow the steps here: 1) goto control panel> add/remove program, uninstall the intel graphic driver 2) restart 2) launch the new downloaded driver again if it still doesnt works, 1) download this driver - http://downloadmirror.intel.com/13881/a08/win2k_xp1431.zip 2) extract the driver 3) run setup.exe i'm doing fine using the .zip driver waiting for ur results This post has been edited by wtm0325: Aug 22 2007, 10:21 AM |

@ V3000: thanks. your x61 has all the good traits of t60, and it is even sexier
 Btw just a thought: I found that the security implementation of thinkpad (fingerprint login, password manager) is a bit of a hassle. As I don't really required them atm is there a way to turn them off (not uninstalling them) - the fingerprint login? I managed to turn off the password manager however no luck to the fingerprint login. I tried disable them but then it doesn't work. It still requires me to swipe the finger or type in password. |
