anyone knows which shop still carries ThinkPad R60 9455A53, went to techdos lyp yesterday, but seems like they dont have this model.

also, any shop carries the z series that comes with 15.4"

sad to say that 9455A53 is no longer in market. i even have 3 customers that give me deposits on this unit with original price and no discount just to get this model but i had search through all the supplier and distributors and even check through IBm malaysia and there is no even a single unit left for this model. Just if lucky might there is some retailer might still have dead stock in their hand....hehe....

arrghhh ... sad to hear that. this is a real bargain. i like it comes with the option without any windows OS. i think i saw another series with similar spec, that comes with windows xp, and the price difference is so huge, around 4.2K if i was not wrong.

btw, bobby, r u guys going to bring in any z series that comes with 15.4" widescreen, or can special order be made?

tq

there is still no news about z series in malaysia but can be bring in from singapore model or u can buy straight from singapore. recently in asia concetration in thinkpad model is low and most of other notebook retailers prefer to sell lenovo more than thinkpad....is really destroying the thinkpad market...i really hope ibm buy back their business....im still waiting for time to come....
*
well ... if the pricing is right for consumer after the buy back. i'm happy to hear that biggrin.gif

It just won't happen because IBM isn't keen on the PC market anymore. The Z series is also being slowly phased out as Lenovo is expected to launch a new T61 soon.
Not sure if guys notice, but the new Thinkpads are now shipping without the IBM tricolour logo anymore, making it a full Lenovo branded device.
*
T61 for Thinkpad series, is this the one tat comes with santa rosa proc. wonder wat's the price gonna be, i guess i gotta hold on my plan of buying R60 then ... hehehe ...

by the way, i did notice that the new thinkpads do not hav IBM logo anymore sad.gif sad, tha tricolour logo is a trademark of thinkpad

but thinkpad not widescreen sad.gif i m looking at laptop around RM6-7k, T60 got quite good spec + the name of thinkpad, just that not widescreen
*
thinkpad actually have widescreen, it just that the models available in Msia do not have widescreen series. i'm dying for one widescreen too. preferable 15.4" widescreen.

check out: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/control...E8E19B36EC665A7

btw, i see that thinkpad do not come in standarize, each country has different model, though they still stick to Z, R, T or X series.

maybe should make a bulk for thinkpad widescreen series ... hehehe

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

QUOTE(V3000 @ Apr 19 2007, 11:18 AM)
Then how you guys know new T61 dont have the IBM logo on it? got source to prove it?  hmm.gif

Refer to post #975 and #977
*
refer pics above ... wat a sad case to see thinkpad without IBM logo.

QUOTE(vez @ Apr 19 2007, 01:01 PM)
i guess not many will bother, got or not already not important biggrin.gif
more important will be the quality of thinkpad after Lenovo take over smile.gif

my 2 cents
*
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

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

i doubt that it'll reach our shore in july. not sure if we can see the actual thingy in the coming pc fair, let's hope for it biggrin.gif usually new IBM lappy seems to take some time to reach us sad.gif

btw, without the ibm logo gives me a lenovo feel at first look.

Just read from InTech today that Asustek wins the contract deal to make Lenovo notebooks.  But i doubt it's the Thinkpad series, more like the lower end lenovo notebooks.

i guess it's a good news, Asus lappy is quite good smile.gif
