Is it possible to upgrade the video in a T61 that has the integrated Intel video? Can a video card be added, and if so where would one get a notebook video card - Lenovo or a place like newegg?

I was standing under a halogen light with my T61 and noticed a galaxie sparkle to the lid. Is this standard - has anyone else noticed this? Is it a metal composite or something? Kind of cool...

YES, I have the exact same problem. It is not an inferior table surface as Vali suggests, it does the rocking from rear left to front right no matter what table it is put on. I am becoming quite annoyed with it and not sure what to do. I guess I may call Lenovo, though I'm sure it would mean sending...

Interestingly my same configuration is $87 more now and without the Thinkpad 11a/b/g/n that I got as it is not an option at this time. I bought at the end of the Memorial Day sale. 8 days shipping - lucky configuration of parts they had on hand?

Happy to share - My configuration is pretty basic: T7300 processor, Win XP, WXGA w/o camera, Intel X3100 graphics, 2 GB (2 DIMM), 100GB x 7,200 hard drive, DVD Recordable Ultrabay, 4 cell + Ultrabay battery, Thinkpad 11a/b/g/n, Ultranav w/ fingerprint reader. I think that about covers it. It would b...

My T61 order of 5/29 said "Estimated ship date 8/28/07". I had read here that that is a computer/web error so I did nothing for a week. I called Lenovo 6/5 and was told it would ship by 6/21 (3 weeks form credit card approval). I thought, no problem, that is acceptable. Got an email yesterday 6/6 th...

Sorry kamaleon, I'm ordering the T61 tonight and this is my last decision on the model. I didn't mean to clog up the T61 forum, but was looking for a quick answer - my bad.

Does the 7,200 spin use more battery power? It does make things run faster, right?

I've been waiting for this T61 for a few months and could use some help with a few of the choices please. Video: Intel GMA X3100 GM965 w/ 1394 or the nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M? I'm OK with WXGA screen. Opinions? Intel Turbo Memory - what does that do? If you select it, then you can not get Wireless WAN...

I found this document - has more information about the T61 than the Lenovo site:

Thanks anyway guys... Googled my question and here is what I was hoping to learn: This is from Intel http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma950/ The new Intel® GMA 950 graphics core is an intelligent and responsive graphics engine built into the chipset that is on the motherboard. This integratio...

Is there any draw back to the Intel 950 graphics in the T60 with regard to Windows Vista, when it comes around? I seem to think I heard some reference made to a graphics card being vista-ready. Any opinions on the T60 with the Intel graphics vs the ATI Radeon w/ 64 MB? Thanks.

K.Eng, what prompts you chose the xga vs the sxga 14" ? I'm trying to decide between the two, sight unseen. Thanks.

I don't have the opportunity to see thinkpads in person. Trying to decide on aT4x model between the 14' xga (1024 x 768) and 15" xga or sxga (1400 x 1050). Questions: does the 15 run the battery down that much faster? I don't have great eyes and use glasses for computer work, would the sxga make the...
