T400 Processor Upgrade Advice
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 3:58 pm
Hi all,
I've a T400 with a P8600 and have been looking at upgrading it to give the old girl a new lease of life (in combination with an SSD and more RAM which I've already swapped from somewhere else). I'm looking at either a P9700 or T9900 but need some advice on which would be a better choice.
I'm not sure if the T400 ever shipped with a T9900 and I don't know how it's thermal 'dynamics' would be affected (if at all), likewise I'm also not sure if the lower TDP of the P9700 would give noticeable battery longevity in comparison with the T9900.
Advice on the matter would be much appreciated!
