SOLD: T601F aka FrankenPad
SOLD 11th June 2022.
Hi, I'm selling my own built FrankenPad.
This is IBM ThinkPad T60 shell, last one that came with 15" 1400x1050 IPS legendary FlexView screen, modded with Lenovo ThinkPad T61 14" motherboard.
The idea is to combine the greatest IBM laptop screen with fastest possible internals from following year model. Custom Middleton BIOS allowed for use of 64bit CPUs
Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X9000 CPU
Nvidia NVS140M GPU
8GB RAM, very rare and expensive 2x4GB DDR2 sticks.
120GB SSD, clean, or with W10 or Linux Mint installed to buyers desire.
Intel AC 7260 WiFi card, dual band (2.4Ghz & 5Ghz)
Fantastic UK layout keyboard
ThinkLight
DVD drive
Original Lenovo battery still at 70% capacity
90W original Lenovo charger
It was fun to build it last year, but I don't have time to play with it any more. I need to clean my laptops stock. Price may appear high for such old laptop, but bear in mind the parts it's been built of are very expensive.
Price: 260 EUR
Location: Dublin, Ireland
Postage: DPD within EU

Re: FS: T601F aka FrankenPad
Is the panel dead pixel free? How is the backlight bleed? Panel hours? Are the hinges tight? Does the price include shipping within the EU?
Lovely unit!

Re: FS: T601F aka FrankenPad
No dead pixels on the display. I checked twice and I don't see any dead or stuck pixels.
No backlight bleed noticeable in daily usage. I had to use camera in blackout room to be able to see a miniscule light bleed on the bottom of panel.
No clue how to check panel hours.
Yes, price includes DPD shipment in EU. I'll throw in some extras as a surprise to buyer.
I added 3 videos to linked above Google Drive folder. Please check them out.

Still available. I'll add free some spare parts with it.
Re: FS: T601F aka FrankenPad
Do you have the date from the GPU to see if it could be affected by the solder issue from Nvidia chips from that time?

Thanks for answering. I'm just learning about these mods and looking over options. I am a little worried about the UK keyboard...

Re: FS: T601F aka FrankenPad
Thanks! I'm still in a research mode. Most on this forum are very familiar with all the parts and mods, and I'm a bit of a newbie. I want that screen. I react badly to contemporary super bright screens. I do have a nice Dell laptop and the monitor it's hooked up to is the old fluorescent kind that doesn't bother my eyes at all. Lately (pandemic influenced perhaps) I wake up at night and am up for hours and I thought I could get some writing done during that time, and just thought it would be cool to get one of these old IBMs. I used to have the 13.3 inch one, a long time ago. I'm not sure if I need a frankenpad but it's tempting. I probably could do with a refurbished one since I won't be doing anything complex, and can save to dropbox, go back to sleep, and then go to my desk in the morning. (too much info probably lol)
