Hey guys My TP is for sale (cause I have upgraded to a Macbook Pro, heh). 14.1" SXGA+ (1400x1050), no dead pixels, immaculate condition, + you get some Waterfield bags with it for free. It still has 1 year warranty. I bought it from Euclid in the US and had it shipped to Aus. It is on eBay here , I ...

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-X2000.2176.0.html From what I can tell, they seem to claim that the X3100 GPU is way better than the ATI V5200 FireGL according to the 3DMark03 performance. It's a misprint. [ EDIT : Well, not a misprint, it is just misleading. The numbe...

You mean 1440x900 (WXGA+).

Hey moderators: Why did you move my message from the T6x to the Marketplace forum? I wasn't actually trying to sell something, I was just pointing out that the web price for a T60 was AU$1,000,000 which is obviously a typo. Can we leave this in the T6x forum or at least the Thinkpad General forum? T...

Have you got any figures to support those claims astro? I'm not disputing that there's probably a difference there, but so vast? The differences in battery life between the variants is well-documented on this forum. To dig something up, darrenf was one of the first to point out the poor battery per...

Australian store having a sale: Check here . Model name 1951AE5 Description ThinkPad T60 Lenovo Web price* $1,099,998.90 inc-GST SuccessLease® Est. $51,700.00/mth for 36 mths** Sounds too good to be true. EDIT: Oh, and if you go to the full listing page , you'll notice that it costs you AU$7000 to g...

Why does Santa Rosa eat so much power? Is it the 800 MHz FSB or what? Is it ALL because of the GPU? There are a LOT of transistors on the new core 2 duos (4 MB of cache!). GPU also contributes. The battery life of <2 hrs on the small battery MAKES SENSE to me. It is mostly driven by the graphics ca...

Thanks -- good to know that I'm not the only one, and a word of warning to others: the T60 may not supply enough power for some USB devices (and no, there was no warning that the limit had been reached).

I bought one of these SanDisk MicroMate USB SD card readers: http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(2018)-SDDR-113-MicroMate_for_SDHC.aspx with a regular 2GB SanDisk SD card included. I have noticed that it corrupts some files when copying to it from the T60. This manifests in two ways: Single large f...

Mine has this too. 2007-63U with Samsung 14" SXGA.
I also have another T60 with TMD 14" SXGA. It doesn't have the problem.

I only noticed when I read this post -- I expect that it would be insignificant to most people. But hey, if it bothers you, you could try get it fixed or do it yourself.

I have a April '06 2007-63U (as per my sig) and work just gave me a new 1951-XXX. I'll compare my differences with yours: 1. The new machine is a rock, as always. The keyboard seems to be like the old NMB ones (which surprised me a lot), with a fantastic response and great travel almost close to my ...

Thanks for the replies! Good (sorta) to know that I am not the only one experiencing the issue... Very interesting that it happened on a T40 as well. It doesn't seem to happen with plain 2D bitmaps, it only seems to occur with vector graphics (like Visio diagrams). I will try your suggestion of OO.o...

Hey everyone, been a while since I been on. One thing that has been happening ever since I got my T60 (2007-63U, Duo 2.0GHz, Radeon X1400, 1400x1050) is that sometimes when there is a diagram showing on the screen (e.g. Word, Visio, PowerPoint diagrams) the screen flickers when it redraws and consum...

I found out a new bug :-) After some time of inactivity, the screen turns itself off, which is normal. But if you wait for some time and then try to turn on the monitor by, say, hitting a key, the screen does not turn on. I just close the lid -- not completely, just past the point where the screen ...

Have a look in the ThinkVantage Power Manager settings.

There has already been some quite detailed discussion on this forum about the Advanced Dock, including benchmark figures. Try doing a search. One important thing to note is that the PCIe connector in the dock, even though it is full-length (PCIe 16x, to accommodate any card), it connects to the dock...

Thanks for sharing, Bill.

I have to admit I haven't noticed any difference in strength between the Intel 3945 and, for example, my desktops with wireless (when in the same location). I will stick with it for the moment until it causes me grief...

You're right.

If you have already made the R&R CD + DVD, then this file is only the ISO for the CD part of the pair.

The link doesn't work. It just times out. I'm on a fast connection, etc.-- it's not me. Does it work for you? Works fine for me -- though a number of hours have since passed. Here's the deep link to the T60/p system service parts: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibm...

Have a read of the gaming thread.

How does one tell what type of keyboard one has from that info, though-- Alps, Chicony, whatever? I did go to the page and run the ActiveX control.

Item #1 in the FAQ.
Look up your model and go Parts Information, System Service Parts T60/p.

Ethernet port is supposed to power down when on battery. Just plug in the ethernet cable and it will wake up.

If it is really annoying, you can disable through the device manager I think. It is called "Deep Power Down" or something.

I agree with all your points.

Work has become much more productive/pleasurable ever since.

Wow, well...this would have been another edit, but there is alot. Wow, thanks for the info, Chris! I agree, TPShocks is one of the tiniest TSR (a DOS term!) programs running on my system -- 336/640K Mem/VM, which is incredibly small considering that most of that is probably the little taskbar icon ...

Defragged the hd but ATi Control Center still takes like 10 seconds to load up. Is that program a piece of crap or is my computer? Those Intel wireless cards are the only ones compatible (I think there is some Cisco encryption feature in use), along with Dell 1490 and two Cisco PC cards. Picked up ...

This is an image of the IBM ThinkVantage Rescue & Recovery boot CD. If you are interested in keeping it, I suggest just burning the ISO (either thru Nero/etc. or using the Rescue & Recovery program) to a CD before deleting it -- though it is not much use unless you have actually made a R&R 'backup' ...

Absolutely.
That's why I have a T60 instead of a MacBook.

Didn't someone else also see this when they installed OSX on their TP?

Out of the clear blue, as I was moving a window across the extended desktop to my laptop screen, I noticed a vertical red line on the screen. It runs the entire height of the screen about 1" from the right edge. There is also a shorter grey horizontal line that runs about 3" from the left edge and ...
