Much more concerned about the display quality. I hope the 14" SXGA+ non wide screen, if it ever becomes available, will be at least as good as my T42p (which is not great either). I just talked with a Lenovo sales person, who reiterated (a couple of other reps said the same to me, recently) that, n...

2. The LCD quality (42X1671) is poor on my unit. I would not wish this display on anybody. You don't realize how bad it is until it's next to a decent screen like a Flexview or a Dell 2405. RonS, in what regard is the display quality lacking? Per this thread, http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthr...

I got this from another forum: There are two ways of increasing the font size on a Windows machine (or any machine for that matter) - the good way and the bad way. What you just described is the bad way - increasing font sizes. To do that, you need to go into Display Properties, then the Apperance t...

Inside the Box has a Lenovo PR video clip up at http://www.lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=86 with a motorcycle dancing on top of a T61. A commenter posed a question that I had wondered about as well, do the 14.1 4:3 models have the same "roll cage" construction for the display? Apparently not, at l...

In looking at that same issue, I found some articles that increased my knowledge of the topic from zero to somewhat more than zero: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2886 http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2977 http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2984 Those articles b...

For those who are in the process of choosing between different screen sizes, I posted a diagram comparing the different screen sizes (just the screens, not the overall sizes) on the "other" forum:

Your guess is good - between 5.5 and 6 lb. Some ambiguous numbers were pulled out and discussed in this thread: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=43563 If you can get an actual part number, you can substitute that at the end of this link http://www5.pc.ibm.com/us/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLoo...

I can't translate these 3D performance numbers into a prediction of the actual gaming experience (I've blasted an asteroid or two on cloudy observing runs, but that's about it....) but here are some results I found when comparing the two graphics options. Judicious googling of the graphics ID along ...

Is it any longer meaningful to regard the R series ThinkPads as a "mainstream" product of lesser quality/value than the T series ThinkPads, with the initial T61/R61 release? I was curious about the underlying hardware differences, which I haven't seen much about in previous posts, so I looked throug...

tomh009 and SkiBunny: I understand the increased width, but how on earth is a widescreen version deeper than the 4:3 model? I would have expected a depth under 10 inches for that one, but it actually got bigger in every dimension. If you look in the tabook, the 4-cell T61 14.1W is listed as 13.2" x ...
