Thanks for this post. I have almost the same config except no turbo memory (WWAN instead). Can you please tell us if you notice any difference between 32 and 64 bit? I am looking to change to x64 bit next week to be able to use 4gb of ram. Do applications launch faster? Does the machine wake from sl...

i am doing this now, and you will need to tint your windows but on very bright days it will be a little difficult to use. If you look at the multi touch demo on tabletpcreview, he compares it to the other screen types outdoors and should give you a really good idea of what you are up against.

did the best buy thing went from 100gb 7200 hitachi drive on my x61t and it helped a little but definitely a case of diminishing return. Vista index for hard drive went from 5.0 to 5.4. Was it worth $130? still not sure as I will never use the 200gb worth of space.

i too want to know how to use single tap

I went from a t40 2.0 dothan 2gb ram to x61t and am very happy with the choice.

I too cannot figure out how to make the touch screen useful. I would love to be able to use my screen with one tap like on a treo but have been unable to. I am sure I just to adjust some settings.

My X61T is working great with the Linksys WRT330N Wireles Gaming Router. I can't imagine that the WRT350N is that much different...are you sure you have it configured correctly? Also, if you are using Windows Vista...it will only report the wireless radio as a "Wireless G" device, not a "Wireless N...

the only way I have been able to deal with this is setting up a profile in thinkpad presentation director, then everytime I re-dock, I hit "fn" and the corresponding presentation director button on the thinkpad keyboard. Takes about 4 seconds including waiting for windows to re-adjust everything.

I have had this same issue, I have to CTRL f5 disable bluetooth and then re-enable. Works 80% of the time.

I too would like to know, fastest from my x61t is 144

running x61t with x base and it works like a champ. The only frustration I have is going from doc'd to undocked it sometimes does not switch back to the notebook screen, so reboot is required. Also, it does not always re-adjust the display resolution. Plenty fast though. Regarding hard drive speed. ...

yes, my 90w wall adapter charges my x61t faster than the 65w connected to my x base. Can not give you actual time frames though.

coming from t40 2.0 dothan 2g ram 7200hd. to a x61t i will not go back to t series. plenty fast or me.

I have one and it works well enough for me. Always get connected immediately after waking up from sleep. Just upgraded my router from "a" to "n" and get all but one bar at the farthest part of my house. Recognized 144mbps. What I am trying to figure out though is there seems to be an ever so slight ...

All you people who cannot use Access Connections should reflect on the fact that it works perfectly for many of us. So if you don't wish to use it, don't use it and leave it at that. ... JDH jdh...do you use built in wwan and wifi thru access connections? This appears to be one of the major shortfa...

Uninstalled access connections and now all of my wwan and wireless woes are over. CNTRL f5 still works. Access connections=Connection problems.

Uninstalled access connections and now everything works like a champ. CNTRL f5 still works. Happy camper again:)

I too am having a very bad experience with access connections and vzaccess on my x61t. Sometimes it works sometimes I have to restart my machine multiple times to get either wifi or wwan to work.

i too prefer an integrated card. I have a rev a card sticking out of my t series and I look forward to getting my x with integrated. If the next to never occassion ever comes up that I need it, I will go on verizons site and change the service back to the external card. But that will never happen. ...

Your best resource for wwan information would be evdoforums.com The fastest cards available are from Verizon and Sprint. You will want revision A. I currently have an external verizon card in my t series and very much look forward to my new internal card on my x61t (still verizon due to superior spe...

I would also like to know.

I have the same situation going on. My sales rep of course says "shouldnt be a problem". We'll see what happens.

ok thanks.

Well I think the X61T comes with an SD card slot. I was thinking of getting a SanDisk 4GB Extreme III card to use for ReadyBoost. I would hate having a USB thumb drive hanging out of my laptop all the time. Can you direct me to some information on how to do this? sorry never mind...seek and I shall...

I would agree with everyone else on the ibm card UNTIL you talk about the new intel card in the x61. I had to make the same decission and chose the intel. Should offer better reception than the ibm card as well (3 antennas).

Spoke briefly about the turbo memory + WWAN not being available when I bought my X61T. Though the rep said Lenovo was working on that, the combination of features is certainly is not available now. Since I have no other use for the SD card slot, I guess I pop a 4GB 150x card into it and take up the...

You would do well with a chip manufactured in 2003 rather than 2004. I just went from 1.5 banias to 2.0 dothan pentium 755 with no issues. Some of the 2004+ chips have an issue in t4x machines because they are some times not in the most recent controller 2004 release. Better to get a 1.8 or 2.0 doth...

oh yeah forgot to mention, 1.5 and 1.6 and some 1.7 dothans may not work in your t series. Safest bet is to get one that was manufactured in 2003 as it should be in the most recent bios and controller(controller last updated 2004).
