There must be some junk running.. before you call IBM make sure there is no spy junk running...

As an aside, another tip is to make sure that you configure the LCD property of the Thinkpad configurations utility so that the screen will be the same brightness on battery as AC. Thank you - I found the culprit when I went to thinkpad config / (Acces Thinkpad) I disabled graphics managemnet on ba...

Why ? I changed the power config to Max Performance .. (I haven't rebooted though) are there any other settings to make sure that the machine running at high performance. On power cord performance is excellend .. thanks for your help.

I got my T42P and compared against my frieds T60P. Here is a general comparission (In my view). T60 definitely feels solid so is T42p and the differences you can feel is very little. For general use speed feels the same. I felt T60 screen little brighter and better colors. There are minute differenc...

I pulled the trigger but not for T60 but for T42p. My justification was, having accessaries for T42, long wait time for T60 (I had EPP also :). And I got 1.8 G/15" FlexView UXGA/9Cell/60G 72K/1G for <$1500 New. For my use I think memory/faster HDD + better screen would make the difference not the pr...

Unless you do lot of programming and database work (or gaming) I would buy T42. Dont worry about depreciation as no matter what you are spending it will be less by the time you want to sell to the point you might as well keep it. There will be always some thing better by that time. (Only 2 years ago...

How hot does the machine gets ? General feel, I cant gaze the heat based on numbers ... please thanks

Hi - Please help me with the last 2 questions. 1: IBM site says DVD Burner for one of the models I am looking at and have multiburner as option, does this mean DVD burner can not burn CD's? What is the difference. 2: Does my T40 CDRW fit T60 ? (I have two) These are my last questions ? To make my de...

IBM has sent my AC adapters for my T60 - they are 90W and have a diffrent connector than the T4X machines I've had. I don't have the actual T60 yet, though. :( Are you talking abou thte connector, to the machine or connecter at the adapter it self ? And can you please let me know output voltage and...

I have about 5 of them connected to each outlet logically I use. I dont want to buy another 5 for T60.

Thanks for your help.

I need to return my T40 by end of March to my employer and I will be buying one for my self. Now that date has been set. I know I want 14" screen. Having said This are the options I have T42/1.86G M /60G/512M//1024x768/3Year for <XXXX> T60/1.66G Duial Core /80G/512M//1400x1050/3Year for <XXXX> (+$20...

I though though / I will use my T40 and upgrade to 14" screen of better resolution. T60 or T4X I will wait for real reviews.

Thank you all for your input. Again Thank you.

Hi Experts: I am a very heavy user of the laptop for my work. I currently have T40 14" and love it. I use it allover the place / as desk top (10%) on the couch (60%) on bed (40%). T40/14" ergonomics are excellent for my usage. I may have used parallel port few times for printing and S-Video port may...

Looks like the best way is to be lurking at sites for couple of weeks to get best deal. I found 1.86/768M/60G7200/DVDRW/T42/3Years for 1685 at ibm site. I found another deal (expired) the same config for 1399 at same ibm site just about 10 days ago :cry: I will keep on lurking for next few weeks unt...

My budget is below 2K and prefer to keep around 1.6K. I had T30 and using T40 from work. I stopped using T30 as it gets really hot, and I use it as a LAP top - literally, I work on my couch/bed a lot with the computer on my lap in. I use it for Database backend loaded on the system wiht lot of numbe...
