which T6x series should I go for?
Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2007 11:50 am
Originally I included the X series in an earlier post in the question section, but decided against it as I will have to hook plenty of things to it that would make it cumbersome (external HD that I have, external optical drive, web cam, card reader etc..).. so now I'm narrowing it down to the T series.
going to use this for college, will carry around a bit, but will mostly stay on a desk at work or in the dorm rather than in class. will be my primary computer since my desktop is crappy.
ended up preferring Lenovo due to fondness for matte screen..
not too much gaming, too busy these days but every now and then yes, mostly online ones, some of which are 3-d based.
was considering a T61 with a Quadro 140m.. but started having second thoughts.
last IBM owned was an sxga+ 14" T43 and liked its size and coolness.
I'm a little worried the T61 may be quite thick which I'm not too keen on. perfect resolution. I like some decent viewing angles though but willing to compromise on things of course since there is no perfect notebook.
some other options I been pondering
- older T60p with sxga+ or a wsxga+ version with either an x1400 or v5200/50 card
- a regular T60 with sxga+ flexview, but with an x1300 card
prefer not to spend over $1700, ideally up to $1500, cheaper the better of course.
but what I want:
at least 1.8ghz, ideally 2.0
1gb ram
other reccomendations are welcomed!
