Getting a T60!!!

[rosemarycane]

Hey,
Just wanted to get everyone's opinion. Plus, wanted to share my story.

Over the past 8 months, my T43 (2668-y13) has been to the easy serv depot over 10 times. The motherboard has been replaced 3 times that I can remember, and it has never really been "right" since the day I got it. Whatever the case may be, I love my Thinkpad.

After sending several letters to executive relations, I was finally approved for a replacement! To my surprise, they are replacing my T43 with a T60!

Here are the specs and model number:

Model # 2007-01U
T60
T2500(2GHz), 512MB RAM, 80GB 5400rpm HD, 14.1in 1024x768 LCD, 64MB ATI Radeon X1300, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11abg wireless, Bluetooth/Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, 6c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro

Just wanted to know how many people have migrated from a T43 to a T60, and what do you think about the differences? Is this system decent except for the graphics card?

Any input would be appreciated! Thanks to all of you who make this forum so awesome!

i would thank the electronic gods and rejoice in the T60 replacement..

ya think DELL would do such a replacement..??
for DELL 10 trips to the repair depot is probably the norm rather than a 1 in a million occurance..

having owned most all top thinkpads since the 750C i can attest to the superiority of the T60 over any predecessor thinkpad..

for me, i use the X60s and T60p and both are a real generational improvment..

my only complaints are the T60p came with the intel wifi which i changed to the IBM atheros based card and the intel graphics processor in the X60.. which is not possible to change but operates well enough..
