arrr .. so windvv2005 ... your DIY cooler is extracting air or blowing air ar ?... not bad not bad ... u got electric drill at home ?

Blowing!!! I afraid if sucking out the air the air flow of the laptop fan's area will become small than my CPU temp may be rise up.The fan is just right under the Laptop fan's hole.I got drill but i dun have hole saw. I was using Pahat(chisel) to ketok hole swt swt swt.

r60 is not widescreen.
the build is great and affordable.

wat i can say is it's the best laptop i own so far comparing to other brand it's not a multimedia laptop so u cant expect to enjoy great screen, speaker, or card reader stuff, but wat u get is the superb built quality, battery life, nice typing feel, it's just like a superb working companion, very suitable to carry around

if u dun mind core duo, there's a 2nd hand selling at garage sales at RM2.5k only, which still cover half year warranty

but no GC very hard to do photoshop and illus leh .... very laggy

Last Pc Fair R60 is selling at RM3399 and come with plenty of free gift and surprisingly an 80GB HD is also a free gift.Original 80gb HD + 80GB external HD (free gift) my god!!

Be frank, the look is typical IBM look.Looks pro but not many ppl like it.
I think R60 is the entry level of IBM laptop for those who wants to own 1 but budget tight.A really nice notebook to me.Low heat disipation,firm making,solid,stable

yup yup Thinkpads was my first choice b4 i bought my toshiba but then due to the lacking of multimedia features i didnt go for the Z60t or the Z60 (duo core) one ... the glossy screen was important as it look really nice when you are watching a movie or even a downloaded series on the lappie which i do most of the time when i am in melb ... and not forgetting loads of gaming and picture editing for me ...

btw i realise that Vaio too has good heat dispersion... last night i was using my gf's lappie to watch desperate housewives and prison break back to back on the bed ... and there is no heat coming from the keyboard and the HDD temp is only 35 deg... not bad not bad ... quite quiet also the laptop ... no fan noise ...

so if anyone wants multimedia features and a lappie wit C2D or CD and with a GC ... i recommend you Vaio

yup, last time pcfair really got a nice offer for r60 but i cant get it anymore in current market.mayb due to the upgrade to c2d already.did you guy see any nice offer for r60?

i think now also 3399 but no free gift lah!

This lappy come with centrino pentium M processor?

wow... damn good offer...
wonder when is the next PC Fair? March huh?

i'm using twinhead laptop.normally the temp for HDD is around 36 if not spinning at full speed.and my CPU is 44 degrees.but i found 1 problem which i'm not sure wether others face or not.

My cpu's temp went up to 59degrees after 2 hours i close the screen down.it just stayed at 59 and dont come down.and i can feel abit heat at the keyboard area.

wow...hmm..so far no one recommend the 5594wxmi... aih..was my dream lappie..but since the heating problem really kow lan wan..aih..how laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....
any other models with x1600...?... (please quote price also ya)...
hmmm and i heard the x1700 out ar?..rumor... ehehe... sorry ya off topig again.. oink oink.....

also..hmmm..wats the heat tolerance for normal lappie...processor and mobo... normally proc is much hotta rite?

sorry for the disturbance...
what software are you using to check all the temperature?
mind to share...thinking of adding this kind of software for my notebook...
thanks...

Ya i also facing this kind of problem but not so obvious, only up to 46/47 ,idle 43/44.I think maybe is becoz of the lid is close so the ventilaion is become poor!SO my friend always open the lid eventhough he is not using it.

wow...serious.. not much better than acer la then

harr ... i thought normally if u close the lid of the lappie then it automatically goes into hibernation? .... my lappie lid is always open when i leave it on for downloads ...

juz make sure the screen is switched off then its ok d lo ... but then the thing i am afraid of is that the adapter K.O only ...

but so far after 1 year ... still no problems lo ... hopefully no prob till this lappie is like 5 to 6 years old ... coz no money to upgrade d ...

In control panel> power option>advance>when i close the lid .......... : adjust to do nothing. Then when u close the lid ur lappy won't standby and the screen will off also. For the adapter i always palce it on the floor.Floor is colder so can cool down my adapter!

noleh i prefer to close the lid and make it go into hibernate so that i can quickly pack up the lappie and go uni or go out
