My setup with new X60s

#1 Post by tbfox » Thu Aug 31, 2006 7:36 pm

I got my X60s the same day as my new A/V receiver. Well, I didn't have time to finish hooking up the NEW receiver, but I wanted to watch a DVD. I used my new X60s as a rich-man's DVD player (haha) by connecting it to the RGB-in on my TV. That's the new lappy sitting on top of the new receiver. (Everything is all hooked up proper now, however). I think the lappy looks nice next to his 43" friend, eh?

The other picture is my new lappy next to my older one, the Averatec 6210. The old one is 2 years old but still trucks along just fine. I wanted the ultraportable for grad school (starts next Friday!)

Aren't they a cute pair? Enjoy!

Your new X60 looks amazing. Hopefully it will serve you well in your graduate studies (what career, by the way?). Looking at both your Thinkpad and your Averatec together, it is not hard to feel a special predilection for the little black machine.

By the way, how is the video quality hooking to the RGB input of your television?

Yeah, Averatec will always have a place in my heart, but she knows she's "Jan," the less-loved middle sister, haha. (Not entirely true, I love all my children, er, computers).

I'm an ultrasound tech that now specialized is education & research, and Thomas Jefferson University, where I work, has a Masters in Radiology & Imaging Sciences. I just figured a Masters degree couldn't hurt, and it's only a one-year program, so what the heck. Besides, any excuse to buy a new toy!

I was actually quite impressed with the quality of DVD playback via RGB. Granted, it's unconventional, but that's never stopped me before. The image took up a good bit of the 43" screen, although there was letterboxing on all 4 sides, naturally. The resolution was very, very good. One of the few misgivings I have of the X60s is the lack of S-video out. My $1100 two-year old Averatec has it, why doesn't my $2400 (before sale) Lenovo? Oh well. Cie la vie.

Cheers,
Traci
