i have a T30 that has served me over the years. there is just some problem with it's fan: -it is sometimes loud, i got used to working next to it, but i definitely can't sleep while it is turned on -sometimes it starts with the "fan error" message then shuts down, then i have to restart it - it only...

no probs, then i`ll stick with a single ssd

it seems that i will stick with the x61s then, the extra just does not worth it for me now.

i have one question: can i install a mini-sata ssd in any of these, one like this: http://cdn-static.zdnet.com/i/story/40/ ... -intel.jpg

ok, then what about the X61S? on the thinkwiki site it does not say which kind of display it has. currently i need a subnotebook that i just can flip open anywhere, does not have to be very small and does not become hot, that it becomes uncomfortable to hold in your hand. i was thinking i could buy ...

ok so its probably CCFL.
what is the difference between the two?

since i can ask the seller various questions, how can one determine if it has CCFL or LED (without taking the whole thing apart)?
some photos from the right angle will do?
also are thhere other important notes i should look after for the x200s?

here are the numbers:

X61S TYPE 7666-AA5 L3-ABA8H

X200S TYPE 7470-CTO L3-AAY0N

it is an X61S - with s and the dvd writer goes into the docking station about the marketplace: my problem is that i`m from central/eastern europe so that means a lot of shipping from anywhere else there is also an offer for 331 USD for an X200S: -CPU: Core 2 Duo L9400 6MB Cache 1.86 Ghz 1066Mhz FSB ...

i have found an offer for 220 USD can anyone tell me if it is a good deal? -CPU: Intel CD 1600MHz (L7500) -RAM: 2048MB DDR2 -Display: 12.1" XGA (max. 1024x768) -HDD: 80GB SATA2 -DVD writer -GPU: X3100 -Audio: Connexant SmartHD Audio -Modem: Connexant 56kbit -LAN:Intel PRO/1000PL (10/100/1000) -Wirel...

for many years i used (and still using) a thinkpad t30 and a t60p, but i never actually used them as heavy-duty mobile computers, meaning i only used them once or twice on a train and never on public locations, and only a handful times in the university. i am very pleased with the thinkpad brand so ...

bought it from ebay from germany.
my advice is to look regularly (read: daily) on ebay for offers and you can consider yourself lucky if you can get one around 100-120 euros
after some time they should show up

Whats you other specs, mate? I'm considering buying a dock for my R61 (T8100/4GB/Intel). Also, have you tried anyting faster in the dock? HD6570 isn't a high performing card by any stretch of the imagination. T60p with firegl v5250, 2 gigs of ram, core 2 duo t7400 (if i recall correctly) ~250 gigs ...

little feedback after 1+ year of usage of advanced dock with hd6570 (windows 7 x86), on a philips 16:10, 1600x1200 monitor: -nevewinter nights (1) runs perfectly with max settings on full resolution (obviously, this is a rather old game) -team fortress 2: i have to run it on lowest settings (if usin...

sooner or later i am planning to throw out any windows from my t60p machine because when using the advanced dock+radeon hd 6570 windows seems to be extremely slow sometimes, as in general lag when drawing windows elements, most often when switching windows. luckily 3d is not affected by such lags, i...

my father ordered 2 ultrabay adapters (one for my t60p and one for his t61) and when they arrived we realized that they are third-party products. i think it does not really have a performance impact (apart from they ultrabay itself) but i just wanted to ask to be sure. so... does it have any impact ...

Okay, what are the perfs you got with this card on recent games ? I wonder if I'm not gonna try this solution : http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/445295-guide-getting-radeon-5770-working-advanced-dock.html At least, it seems to work with a T400 without any surprise... tested only with this...

Interesting. I guess the question is if there are any distinct differences between the Lenovo- and the IBM-produced models or if your IBM model was faulty. Can you post the exact serial numbers etc from the 2 different models you tried? ok... which one is the serial number (as thinkpad hardware ten...

Hi there ! I have a "hd6570 which looks like the 5570". It doesn't works with my T400 and Lenovo advanced dock. Looks like it needs too much power (the base reboot every 5 seconds, and nothing is visible on the screen)... Is there anybody here who could advise me a working card for the t400 ? Thank...

update: bought a new advanced dock, this time a lenovo manufactured one results: sapphire hd 5570 (link: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/28685-sapphire-radeon-hd5570-1gb-ddr3-single-crossfire-review-7.html ) - fits and works perfectly, tested with uniengine tropics, gra...

you just mentioned earlier that you have a lenovo manufactured advanced dock too. i just realized that there are ones manufactured by ibm and lenovo... could you test the card with the ibm one as i have that one too and would like to know if there is any difference in terms of which one accepts whic...

I don't have a radeon card. The internal card is Nvidia Quadro 140M, whereas he external card is Nvidia Geforce GT 520. could you please tell the specifications of the card (manufacturer most importantly, but other stuff too that is available) along with a photo that you can find could you run some...

over the levovo forums, in this post http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/T61-with-Advanced-Dock-and-PCI-e-graphics-card/m-p/205357#M45044 someone says that he was able to get a hd 4650 running which is weird because according to this site http://www.geeks3d.com/20090618/graphi...

i assume he used windows 7

i also have the question that how "safe" is it to use this?
i would like to just downclock my card when using an advanced dock

how well does an advanced dock work with linux?
since i plan to use an ati card in the pcie slot i guess just installing the radeon (open-source) drivers is enough?
anyone any experience?

i just bought an Advanced dock for my t60p

i would like to preserve the condition of my internal card (firegl), so it is possible to turn it off completely when using the external video card?
so it will not produce any heat

i dont need multi monitor setup, just one big display anyway

i have finally set up a 32 bit windows 7 on my t60p, installed only drivers that windows update gave me. so far everything is ok, even gaming performance is good, but i have some concerns. since this is a replaced lcd, max resolution is only 1024x768, but that is ok for now, i will eventually buy an...
