Is there any way to get the IBM logo on a T61 laptop?

Most T61s are being sold with the IBM logo. If you have one with the "ThinkPad" logo instead, you can get a replacement IBM logo from eBay.

Only ones ordered through the corporate program (or something) have the new logo. I can personally vouch for the IBM ThinkPad logo on the regular T61s.

This should answer all your questions:

What's up with this preoccupation about the logo? Isn't it the same machine anyways?
Maybe it's just me, or the fact that I have the IBM logo, but it doesn't make a difference, right?

You can try to find a sticker with IBM logo and replace the ThinkPad logo with it.


Actually,when it is time for T60s yet,there used to be many models of T60 with the ThinkPad logo.A friend of mine bought one such ThinkPad and managed to replaced the logo sticker.

You can see these threads for more information:
