Guess it's almost unanimous from those who've used both so I guess I'll pull the trigger on the t400s in a couple of weeks. Anyone know how long does it take from the moment you order it to the time you get it? I am planning on taking it on a trip to Europe around the 5th of December and I've read s...

I had a question regarding shipping times, I am planning on buying a t400s but im still saving up for it ( don't want to have it linger on my cc but pay it off right away). I was reading and it seems a lot of these are coming from China? If I wanted to have it in time for my trip to Europe beginning...

The z60t should be great. I've had mine for 3 years and still runs great. i love it, now I'm in the market for a new laptop but only because i have to share my z60t and we'd like to have 2 laptops for when me and my gf need to use a laptop at the same time. If lenovo still offered the Z line I'd be ...

Thanks! Yeah I kind of like the t400s keyboard (from what I have seen on pics)
I'll be using Linux on it, seems both take Linux quite well so thankfully that is not an issue...

Thanks! I am leaning towards the t400s still, its just that the big discount on the X301 made me reconsider...
I have to agree that as an overall package the t400s seems to have the edge considering I'm not going to be carrying the laptop with me everyday.
Thanks again for the help!

Hey guys, I know it's a bit biased given that Im posting this on the t400 part of the forum but I don't want to create 2 duplicate threads. I am considering getting a new laptop to add to my Z60t which I love. It has come down to either the t400s or the x301. I know the main differences such as the ...

I'm still loving mine as well. I decided to ditch Windows and put Ubunutu linux and my Z60t is running like a champ!

Thanks! that's good to hear!..and I understand that obviously most people will post when they have issues and there's probably 10x more people with no issues who don't post.....but its always a bit scary on these new models. Kind of like buying a first year car.

I really want to buy a T400s, but these random shutdowns and now speaker problems are not a very good sign. Think Lenovo dropped the ball on this one, problem is there's not much else to pick from on the 14inch and thin category.

I just read the thread on the lenovo site thanks for the link! I am planning on buying a T400s in the next few weeks, I'll definitely keep an eye on this thread... seems people are leaning on it being a hw issue....
Sorry can't help, but thanks for the heads up!

Thanks I'd be interested too!

Thanks for the info! especially the footprint with the battery helps, I had forgotten about that detail. Yeah i guess I seem to be leaning towards the t400s, I've seen the t60 and if like you mention the t400 is like it, then yeah I guess it adds more bulk than I would want. I also looked at the ide...

Hey guys, I currently have a z60t which i love, but i need to get an extra laptop so that my gf can use the z60t and I can still have a laptop to use when she's using the Z. If the Z series was still available I'd get one without thinking twice since I love the fact the z60t is relatively slim and h...

Thanks for the info.... hmm I guess I'll have to stick with the Atheros card, especially after reading underclocker's experience with the intel cards on the z60t. At least the Atheros works....not reliably but it works.
Thanks again for the help!

Hey guys I am looking to possibly replace my current wireless adapter (the Atheros that comes standard on the Z60t and other models). I know there was an option for an intel adapter for the z60 at time of purchase. I am trying to find out what the part number for that adapter is, I am hoping I can g...

Don't know if this might help, but i had the same issue with regular ubuntu. Using the madwifi drivers solved that...i still have issues making the initial connection (takes a few tries) but once it connects, it stays connected...

I have issues with Jaunty not working properly with my hidden wireless network. It will not connect automatically and when i do it manually it often forgets the password and takes about 5 minutes of trials to finally connect. Initially i thought this might be a driver's issue but when it does connec...

great! thanks for the help!!!
I'm loving Ubuntu, i got it on both my laptop and my desktop and dont miss MS at all....

This is what i got from lspci. I'm still a noob so most of this is greek to me.. 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express Processor to DRAM Controller (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (r...

I tried the madwifi drivers and seems much better! It still wont connect automatically, and takes a little to connect once i manually do it, but at least its not dropping! thanx!

Thanks for the help! I just installed the madwifi drivers, we'll see how it behaves! If not I'll try the remaining suggestions..

I'm pretty much a noob at Linux so I had not heard about this before, just googled it and looks like it might help! Thanks for the info!

Hey guys, I am aware there are some issues with some wireless cards not working properly in 9.04 but haven't really seen a fix for mine specifically. I have a z60t with the regular "ThinkPad 802.11a/b/g, 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter". I have Ubuntu and Windows 7 on it. I love Ubuntu but t...

Just in case anyone was having this issue too...it seemed to be an issue with the beta version. I tried this again with the RC and it installed with no issues

At the beginning of the install I deleted any existing partitions....i tried several things including creating one big partition consisting of my entire harddrive, it automatically created a smaller partition I guess for the files and then attempted to install on the remaining space. I also tried no...

I have been having major issues (posted on Win7 subforum about specifics) installing Windows 7...im trying to see if this is something with MY z60t or all Z60t's are having issues....
Anyone successfully install it here?

Thanks !!

Actually that's the version I tried to install..the 32 Bit. I just can't figure out why it will not install....hopefully someone as had the same issue on a Z60t and gotten it to work...?

I wonder how much of a difference there is between the z60t and z61t. I cannot, for the life of me get Windows 7 on my z60t. It will just hang during installation. if I upgrade from vista it hangs at "copying files" if i do a clean install it hangs at "expanding files"... I must have tried like 10 t...

No luck....i deleted both partitions but it still gets stuck, this time at expanding files 0%..bummer..might have to wait till next version or try to install from a thumbdrive..?

I had the same problem with my T43 ThinkPad. I restarted setup and this time I removed the partition and then let the install proceed. This time everything went well except for the fingerprint reader, wifi, altra nav, bluetooth, etc. I then used the Thinkvantage update to get everything else. The W...
