Re: New Member - With a few questions, T61p. ***pics***
Simply download Lenovo System Update and let the ThinkPad automatically update...including any BIOS update. Also do Windows update for the latest drivers and OS updates. More DDR2 RAM and an SSD are nice if your budget can handle them but you will need 64bit Windows to take advantage of up to 8gb of...

Re: New X60 notebook owner...
The X60 is a nice laptop. It only supports 3GB memory but runs Windows7 very nicely.
If you have the $$ an SSD would be OK...but the X60 can run a much larger drive for just peanuts.

There is a known issue with the mouse/pen pointer wanting to drop to a corner...and there is a flash to correct the problem. It is a pain to load the flash software...a long story. I just put up with the problem.

For what it is worth...Windows 7 runs fine on the X41T. It loads the Tablet features and will make loading an OS a breaze. Best way to install is while connected to the internet via ethernet. Although the video driver is not the best...all other features are just fine.

Re: Seeking X-31 replacement
Yes...the X200s meets your requirements. I have had the X200 and X200s and prefer the X200 as the screen is easier to read. The X200 is fast, almost as light, and the high capacity battery will last 5 hours very easy.

Kingston Memory comes with a Lifetime Warranty...contact them and get an RMA. That should solve your problem.

You have come to the right place...but it is hard to part with this excellent model. You are actually looking for a 15" T60p.

Re: T60p max RAM & other silly questions
Two monitors...of course. You have a lot of flexibility with monitors. It is nice to find a monitor that matches the same top resolution and format of your T60 screen. It probably will reflect on your budget as to how many monitors you buy and the desk space. A lot of people like to find one monitor...

I have heard of successful upgrading of the T60p CPU...I believe Brad has done it. There may be a concern for heat issues but I believe a T7600 is compatible and the fastest cpu available for your T60p. Others can confirm that fact. But in my opinion...it is not worth the effort, time and money sinc...
