Thinkpads Forum

I am thinking to buy a second hand T61
7665 DA8

if I put the code on the lenovo support page it gives:

Based 7665-13U: T7500(2.2GHz), 4GB RAM, 160GB 7200rpm HD, 14.1in 1440x900 LCD, 128MB nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, FPR, 7c Li-Ion, WinVista Business 32

While I have direct experience of the T4x and the X20x series, I am completely new to the T6X series.

Is this a good machine to buy?
The offer is complete of dock station, slot for second HD and DVD burner.

Is there any known issue of the T61 series (noisy fan, bad LCD, etc. ) that I should take in consideration?
I will have the opportunity to try the machine before to buy.

thanks in advance for any suggestion,

A.

A well known issue is the nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M chips installed in ThinkPads, and other brands too, before 08/08 are defective. Other than that, the T61 line is a fairly solid machine.

I ask the date to the seller, thanks.
