I'm stuggling to find the time to do the mini review I promised but i'm using my T60 to write this post and it's excellent. Battery is lasting around 2.5 - 3 hours as well I was promised an hour but nearly 3 is amazing. Very happy

My T60 arrived as promised, very happy with it.

I'll take some pics and do a mini review this weekend.

Thanks for the advice again guys

I'm more than happy with the lower resolution screen. My eyes aren't what they used to be so a low resolution screen suits me. I called happy laptops this morning and spoke to someone who answered all my questions regarding warranty, condition and the battery life. I placed the order over the phone ...

Looks like a nice choice. Just a shame the price you are having to pay, though. There is certainly value in getting a warranty, but...I usually don't. I guess it's because I would just do my own repairs, if needed. Anyway, those T60 with Intel graphics seem to be solid performers and quite durable....

I've found a few i'm interested in This one on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120731564408 Has 3gb of ram and a larger hard drive than most but a shorter warranty than the one from happy laptops And this one - http://www.happylaptops.co.uk/refurbished-laptops/33-ibm-leno...

2GB is plenty for XP and the kind of usage your talking about. More than enough IMHO, I run my everyday computer on 1.25GB, and performance is just fine, others would probably tell you otherwise. And, as was mentioned, 2GB is max for the T43, and while 4GB could be installed in a T60, only about 3G...

Thanks for the reply Kev but i'm not really interested in a T43 anymore.

Just waiting on an answer about my RAM question

Good point, Just general internet use, emails, photos. Nothing RAM or CPU intensive.

Probably stick with XP for now and upgrade to 7 when I have some free time (doing the house up ATM)

I've had a quick look into the T60s and they do seem a lot better than the T43s. Only downside is in the UK they are more like $300 than $200.

One thing I wanted to ask is 2Gb of RAM enough or should I go for 4Gb?

Thanks for all the help

Neil

Thanks for the quick replies guys! I did think it was a little old to replace like for like but overall it's been a bloody good laptop!

I'll look at the T60s in the morning when i'm more awake
