cant see the design yet, but got alot of news regarding T61 will be release soon probably after Intel release santa rosa on May

Then how you guys know new T61 dont have the IBM logo on it? got source to prove it?

Refer to post #975 and #977

i guess not many will bother, got or not already not important
more important will be the quality of thinkpad after Lenovo take over

my 2 cents

i saw the actual thing from pcfair last week.






T61 looks like T60 that comes with 14" and 15" widescreen with 4:3 according to source. and yeah ... on santa rosa, i wonder how much would the price be. and will be available around may ... but i dont think it reach our shore so fast.

refer pics above ... wat a sad case to see thinkpad without IBM logo.

yes, quality does matter, so far the design still looks the same, it just that without the IBM logo. i remember in some other countries, lenovo offers a thinkpad that comes with titantium color or wat, in silver, i think that spoilt the image of thinkpad as thinkpad should always comes in coooool black ... hehe ... my opinion

Maybe its time to change (likes DiGi motto). Anyway I like the old IBM ThinkPad design.

OMG! COOL pic! Thanks d8kd!

Sad to see this but this new logo really not bad le Look kinda mystery! Btw pic above show X61? with santa rosa in it?

I prefer the old IBM ThinkPad logo. That is what I called classic.

well ... it's looks ok. erm ... i dont think it's a santa rosa. btw, if you visited pc fair last week, you can see tat the R and T series oso come with tat logo.

i couldn't agree more on this

I dont know how to say.. but i think we should learn to accept whatever Lenovo want to do.. Even without IBM logo.. i still very very like ThinkPad, mainly on the design and the durability..

Ya, With IBM logo the machine look more classic

no IBM logo anymore.
so it's mean that IBM not responsible anymore to it's old school Thinkpad anymore? total Lenovo now?
agree with some forumer. i prefer the IBM logo.

Hehe! Maybe without "IBM logo" we can get this machine much more cheaper?
I wish to have X61 series and hope within my budget

No logo no problem! as long as the quality remain same!

true as well ... hopefully when santa rosa come out wouldnt burn our pocket

But when the company sell their products at cheaps price, I doubt that the quality of products also downgrade?

Hey, just believe me because I see a lot of Thinkpads everyday, so I know what I'm saying

I don't understand what's the attachment/nostalgia with IBM's PC business. It no longer exist and Think machines were a legacy product from that division. The product line will remain as a brand of Lenovo since it is the cornerstone of the acquisition.

IBM has reshaped itself as a software and services firm (although they still retain their high margin server business). In the next decade, people will hardly even remember the days of the IBM computers.

The 15" T60s are no longer offered in 4:3 aspect ratio. They're now all widescreen since it is cheaper to produce them (widescreen LCDs are cheaper due to economies of scale). The ones still sold in the Malaysian market are most probably old stock (get them while you can). Are the T and X series even sold in Malaysia anymore? Lenovo seems to have scaled back Thinkpad distribution and sales in "emerging markets".

Lastly, shouldn't quality be about the same? I believe IBM has outsourced Thinkpad production for the last decade or so, like every other OEMs.

Bro, Its really hard to "Just Believe" couse i also see thinkPad everyday and i still see IBM logo on it (My T60)

But after i see the picture above i'll believe and totally agree with your quotes above. What i can do now is cross fingers and hope Lenovo will continue making good machine as in old IBM days.

Even without IBM logo or ThinkPad totally own by chinese firm.. i'll still continue support it as long as they can build good machine.. brand for me really nothing.. i just want to have a machine that can serve me well and give me less trouble.

I got few other lappy but until now i still keep typing on Lenovo ThinkPad.. Compare with my mom IBM made ThinkPad T43.. i feel lenovo build are not bad and can say par with IBM build machine

Anyway.. Hope ThinkPad will survive longer then me

i am a R60 user and i do not have a serial port on my model

does this USB Serial Parallel Adapter work for my R60 ?

USB Serial Parallel Adapter (<-- CLICK)

Hah! So nice to see "IBM ThinkPad Mobile Computing Club" here!

Where can i immediately buy a compatible RAM (1GB) to add on to my ThinkPad T42, sytem model 2373P43? Kesington ram don't work on my machine. Do you reckon I should add 2GB straight away?

Please advice what's the cost and best place to get it - 1GB and 2GB so i can compare price. And with contact numbers too so I can call to check if they have it before I go all the way and to find it's "out of stock." Thanks!

And am signing in too! Here's the image of my wonderful machine...

Very true. I stand witness to that. I was robbed of my older IBM T42 (without fingerprint) on 31 March 2005. Mid-July last year, I received a call from IBM to collect my notebook from Brickfields Police Station.

After I got it back, IBM checked the entire machine, reformatted the harddisk and replaced the DVD/CDRW drive FOC.

So ThinkPad users, make sure you have registered your machine with IBM and if stolen, inform IBM and give them a photocopy of your Police Report.

After that, pray to God to get it back. Seriously.

Yes, it IS hardy! A couple of years back, my ThinkPad X600 fell out of my backpack while running to my next appointment. I forgot to zip up my backpack in the car after delivering a document elsewhere before that. I heard a LOUD crash and almost died on seeing my ThinkPad on the ground of the carpark. Thought it was the end of it. To my surprise, the LCD screen was intact and no "internal injury"

I'm glad to say Lenovo is still producing the ThinkPads eventhough under their brand name. How I know? Well, they loaned us their ThinkPads for the Visit Malaysia Cyber Campaign (VMCC) ground event at PIKOM PC Fair (I) to enable visitors to participate in the Most e-Cards Sent Challenge. In fact, they have been very supportive of VMCC. Lenovo also loaned us the ThinkPads at the previous VMCC ground event at Mid Valley, 7-11 March 2007.

In addition to that, Lenovo is this Quarter Grand Prize VMCC Sponsor (April-June). The winner of the Most E-Cards Sent Challenge will get the Lenovo Y300, the world's first notebook equipped with face recognition technology. Details, visit http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/446714 - gosh, i hope i have posted the competition at the right place? If not, please recommend and help us spread the news.

Opps, got carried away. I seriously don't think we have anything to worry about ThinkPads being manufactured by Lenovo. Go read About Lenovo at http://www.lenovo.com/lenovo/my/en/
