When is the successor of T60p to be announced?

#1 Post by hdahl » Mon Jun 18, 2007 4:49 pm

Hello!

Do some of you know if and when a successor of T60p is to be announced, I suppose it could be named T61p, as T60 has been replaced by T61?


Best regards,

Henrik Dahl

It will be the T61p, most definitely, though no one really knows when it will be announced. I think most people were thinking it would have been announced already, but I would guess we will see it within the next month or so. Maybe the end of July.

... and with each passing day, sourcing a T60p gets harder and harder...

What's the difference between the T60 and T60p that's presumed to carry over into the 61/61p? I don't know much about the models.

Yep.

And in my (biased) opinion, it is the best Thinkpad ever made.

That's graphics?

So if you're a gamer, you'd want a "p" model, but for business??

T60p, p for performance, in my case has a 1600*1200 monitor. I now have 4 IBM/Lenovo notebooks with this resolution and I really do not like the consumer oriented lower resolution as T66/T61 supports, and it's a genuine business notebook consideration of mine.

I must admit that "p for performance" also fits much better to me from such a maslows pyramid of needs considerational point of view.

Yep. I never got mine, they discontinued the 4:3 models in quick succession just as I went to buy. I think there are some left in Australian warehouses, but they cost more than they did retail and I don't want to enquire lest they already have none left.

Oh the humanity!

They tend to have better base specs...for the T60p, it was 1GB ram, 2.0Ghz processor, and the better GPU. For the T61p, it will likely be a 2.16+ processor, 2GB ram, and the 570 GPU.
