Re: Battery supplier for X series

Can you post the names of the sellers you've had bad experiences with? I'm currently doing the battery lottery at the moment for my X31 and for my T60!

Re: x41 vs x60 vs x31 [ large pictures ]

Those X30-series do look awesome, I especially like the triangle cut myself. It really does just give... something - that tiny little accent - to the overall design. I think the newer Thinkpads are lacking a bit when it comes to that - they just seem a bit square box for my liking. The X31 had a nic...

Re: Boston Power Sonata batteries for ThinkPads

Sorry to revive an old thread, but would those guys with Dr Battery replacements care to comment on their performance many months down track?

Thanks underclocker, exactly what I was after :)
