Thinkpads Forum

Hi all, long no see.
After leaving my balck macbook because it was slower than the R52 that i use to have, and had to be cleaned all the time....well dont want to get anyone hungry so i stop here.
I'm now into web site developpment, graphic design and would like to know which think pad is best suited for my needs, plus i should be stylished to impress the clients to, has i want them to admire my work on a beauty. I would preffer the x series, and willing to spend around 600 $, (i can also get back my macbook for 800$) but for some reason that will be long to explain i cant spend more than 600$ on the thinkpad.

Still waiting for your views, pls advice me.

In that price range the only choices are an X60 or X61. Perhaps an X31/X32 would be comparable to your old R52, not an upgrade though.

I am thinking of US prices and availability, the situation may be different where you are.

So which is it, i heard X60 is faster than X61, and how flexible is X60, is it like flexible like X40???

Flexible? What do you mean?

The X61 has faster cpus than the X60, since it came after.

What i mean is that is the x60 and x61 light enough???

They are as light as any Core Duo ThinkPad will ever be...at today's prices (I don't know the market in Ghana, but here in the US) X60 is a bargain-basement mini-powerhouse.

My $0.02 only...

so can anybody get me one for only $0.02, i will be glad.
I got somebody offering x40, is it fast enough for application like photoshop and dreamweaver???

The X40 have slow CPUs and very slow 4200RPM drives. I don't like them. An X31/X32 would be better, if the X60 is out of your price range.

I have enough money, but how to get when outside US. And how much can anyone get me a X60/X61 and the X31/X32. Pls guys reply.

Usually you'd have to deal with import taxes in your country too, which often makes stuff alot more expensive.
