Thanks for the clarifying update!

This topic seems intriguing and promising at the same time! My CPU almost never is below 70°C, more likely just below the 80°C. I have had a hardtime finding the culprit. Maybe my acumen on KrView is below the needed level. I could not find the command line argument that would point me to the proces...

What's up with (W)QHD? Is this actually allowing for a 2K or 3K mod?

The only issue is that after a number of days (4) since the installation, I've got a sudden loss of picture. Only from browsing. Only a very thin interrupted red line on the left side was signaling that the screen was on. I interpret it as a sudden loss of signal? Interference? After a forced reboo...

I've also managed to successfully do the mod. Thank you RMSMajestic. I've bought the AU Optronics B140HAN01.2 screen many months after actually buying the modding kit. The screen per someone's recommendation was bought from bumblesale from UK (ebay), and the screen is beyond reproach, and it is in f...

Erik, hats off. Thanks a ton.

Haven't tried it yet, but I will have to work with W10 for work issues in the foreseeable future.
This is definitely a list to keep close and execute.

Not bad indeed, from the outlook. It seems that the working canvas should be larger and more comfortable.

I too am interested in rejuvenating my trusty X61T. I'd also be interested in a board.

If I may chime in along famous and more experienced participants (I started rather late :) - with the Thinkpad 380E), I too was dismayed - lack of Ultrabay for example and expandabilty ports. Unless USB-C will have adapters for everything. Also it seems that HDMI even if inferior to DP, because of p...

My wife is an artist, and is looking for a new laptop. She .... needs a 12-14 inch screen, and VERY long battery life. Does such a model exist? I had a web chat with Lenovo sales this morning, and the only model they pointed me to was the Yoga. I am not impressed with that line at all - it only has...

Avoid the Thinkpad Yoga 14. It's stylus is a debacle, vapourware territory. Check the forum over there. My brother just got one, no stylus. No availability either, even if he would have wanted one. The safest bets for active digitizers are the Thinkpad Yoga 12 and the Helix, but the TP Yoga 12 is th...

The X61T was around 1600 USD when bought by the school that I work at. The earlier second hand T30 was close to 1000 USD when bought, and the T60 was somewhat cheaper, both extremely trustworthy workhorses. To put it in context, here, in this part of the world, after some years of progress, folks ma...

July.20th, this July. I've asked my friend to bring 10 more T420s/T430s and 15 non-s kits here. Aah, "sizzling fireboxes"! Itching to purchase the FHD screen already. I'm thinking of the B140HAN01.3 14.0 Matte Edition for my T420s. From your ebay description it's listed as a compatible screen. Ahem...

With the i7 5600u this is getting very interesting indeed. What is the maximum ram that the used MB will accept?
Not getting overly excited, but this means some things could be done to keep some items alive, and competitive in significant areas of use.

The part number to look for an X60T screen is (screen type) LCD HV121P01-100 (part numbers) 42T0461 93P5607. That's what I bought. This is with digitizer as well, and you need to buy also the cable as it should be longer, as the connector in the X60T is in a slightly different position than in X61T ...

Hi. I just got a crack in the outer layer of the screen :shock:. The screen itself and digitizer are fine otherwise. What should I do, as I don't think wasting the screen otherwise is necessary. Could I buy the glass part elsewhere? What goo for gluing should I use to glue back the glass sheet, in c...

After researching cost of shipping TO China (for the 2K surgery), methinks that buying a FHD upgrade kit is very much worth it instead. Color me extremely interested in purchasing a KIT, ASAP the next batch comes around. BTW, when would that be, most likely? As for the 2K, waiting for the retrothink...

Thanks for the clarifying and edifying reply. :). The only thing now for me is finding the T420s with integrated graphics handily. However, I remember being quite comfortable with the X1 screen last time I've seen it. I will check it again as soon as I can, it may have been a lower res. However, bei...

RMSMajestic, this is very good news. But please help me understand correctly a few things, as I followed through google.translate the 51nb.forum and I am not sure I got all things right, as for me the 2K's pain may be glorious in the end. So, could you detail some more on the items below? Please cor...

The video from lilputing shows a keyboard with trackpoint buttons. Let's hope it confirms.

Hello everyone! I figured that we are (became) aware of the Thinkpad Tablet 10 . It seems a step further into thinkpad identity (digitizer, keyboard WITH key travel, dock, some milspecs met, 16:10, etc), than the Thinkpad 8, which has less features to recommend it from the competition. However in te...

Bump for my current laptop. Vouching for it.

How are things? I understand that if not the shorting, you could theoretically still have a regular HDD and another one in the PCMCIA space. I'm also willing to sacrifice the PCMCIA space. However, I'm not sure I understand how/from where you powered your drive.

Thanks for the heads-up, even if I'm late to notice. Rant warning: I couldn't contain myself seeing the rounded corners, the discrete and mainstream latches, the undistinguishable impression, and the oh-so-lonely Trackpoint. It really needs a hug. A caress. But I digress. I used some of the forum fe...

... Simply put: What made the ThinkPad the best was that it was the only laptop designed for SERIOUS WORK. [...] It's a sad state of affairs. [...] Where does a power user go these days to find what used to exist at IBM years ago? Is Dell now the business king of laptops? :x Unfortunately and painf...

This is truly a welcome and I'd say long past due initiative (I guess we hoped for the better wisdom from Lenovo powers). As George suggested we should go ahead and discuss and choose a motherboard to build around. I also second that the motherboard should be lenovo for ThinkVantage s and other stil...

Not necessarily wanting to troll or revive an old thread, or to disagree, but I'm reporting this for future reference in case somebody else runs into this as T60 is showing its age through its components. This issue is plaguing a T60 that came to my care yesterday and it has backlight turning off af...

@Admin: I shall humbly remember. On the pipe-dream: so proper scaling would be the usability prerequisite for HighRes on smaller sized screens. Thus Intel is the one the re-speak the "light" to PC crowd in terms of Retina as they did with the Ultrabooks. Perhaps then we will see a X series with high...

While I agree Lenovo isn't at the cutting edge as far as screen resolution is concerned, Dell Business and HP Business are actually slightly worse (i.e. fewer models have HD+ or FHD), and Toshiba is much worse -- someone over on NotebookReview pointed out that other than the Qosmio line, all of Tos...

All of us dreamers of foregone days of HighRes Screens from the IBM-era, with A/R/TXXp line with the Graal of QXGA of R50p keep hunting and wishthink chimeras/fata morgana's where real. If they would pull off such a machine they would brag loud, like they brag about the current X1's 1600x900 , the "...
