Hey, I'm about to purchase a 15.4" T61 with the WSXGA+ (1680x1050) screen. I've searched around but been unable to find out much about how the screen quality is (viewing angles, backlight bleed, etc.) on them. Anyone here have any first-hand experience they want to share?

It would be interesting to know if the battery was an original IBM one or one from a third party...

You will not be able to make the CD's then. Someone along the way must have deleted the folder to free up space on the hard drive. Your best bet is to try and get a copy from someone else, or else order them from Lenovo. Someone went into the hidden partition and deleted just this? Seems kind of od...

Where can I buy a new CMOS/backup battery for my T42? I found the FRU in this parts list (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-46474) but I could not find a place to purchase it on Lenovo's site. Where do you guys get yours?

To the people who think that there should be a high percentage of 1400x1050 users in these numbers: First of all, this was not a survey. These were statistics gathered automatically as part of a software package installed on web sites/servers. Second of all, 1400x1050 is far, far from a common resol...

Does anyone know if the return policy for an academic purchase from Lenovo is the same as a non-academic one? i.e., do you still have the 30-day, no questions asked return policy?

Does anyone have any idea when this is going to show up on Lenovo's website? I noticed in a few threads here that it showed up briefly around the end of May. It's nearly the end of June now, and it still seems they're hard to find. Seems rather strange seeing as how they were announced earlier in Ma...

I find the Aero discussion intriguing. It seems that people are using "Aero-capable" as a basis for purchasing a laptop, yet when it comes time to install Vista I doubt that any laptop user will run Aero. We're talking about a 3D applicaiton that *requires* 128M vidram and a late-model GPU. There a...
