I actually recently returned a MBP for a T60p (see my earlier post in this thread). My reasoning basically came down to this: 1. The MBP was exceptionally hot, particuarly when running on AC power. The T60p has been mentioned to run cool. 2. Adobe does not plan to release the Intel-compiled Photosho...

Any heat issues with T60P or T60?

Does the T60P or T60 suffer from any heat problems? I'm particularly interested in the T60P with the 2.0Ghz dual core and the ATI V5200 card, and with/without AC power.

I bought a Macbook Pro, but this thing is extremely hot underneath when plugged into AC.

Just returned from the Apple Store. 5 MBP's on display, each of which had this issue, and it's about the same as my T60. Are you saying that the T60's display has the same dark corners as the MBP, in terms of darkness and size? I found the dark corners acceptable in the MBP because it is a wide scr...

I just bought a Macbook Pro. This laptop has has the same dark corners as the ones in the pictures from the original poster. The dark corners extend, oh, 2-3 millimeters from the bottom left and right corners (the top left and right corners are curved in the GUI, so I can't tell if there is darkness...

I recently bought a Macbook Pro. I'm returning it, probably in favour of the T60P. Here is my review of the MBP (I posted this in the Apple support forum too). Some observations about my new Macbook Pro. Disclaimer: this is coming from a Unix command-line addict (Solaris, SunOS, Ultrix, HP-UX, Irix,...

What is a good Linux that will run briskly in VMWare Workstation or Player on the T60/T60P? I have been running Fedora Core 4, but any distribution that has a slick KDE environment would be fine (I hate Gnome). OpenSUSE looks pretty good...

Does anyone here run VMWare workstation (to run Linux)?

Does anyone run VMWare on their T60/T60P? I use VMWare to run Fedora Core Linux on my desktop (Pentium 4 3.0Ghz Northwood), and I find the performance to be barely acceptable. Does VMware run briskly with the Intel Core Duo 2.0Ghz?

More questions: 4. Does the T60P come with the Windows XP Pro installation CD? I may replace the 100GB hard drive with something bigger down the line and will want to reinstall the OS. 5. The Lenovo site says the T60P with the ATI V5200 GPU will ship in "3-6 weeks". I'm planning to add another 1GB o...

thinking about buying a T60P

Hi, I have some questions about the T60P: 1. If I buy the advanced dock and place a video card into it, will this video card somehow work in tandem with the ATI V5200 in the T60P, or will it completely override the V5200? 2. Will the ATI V5200 in the T60P and the DVI port on the advanced dock be abl...
