Short question:
Are there any flexing problems with the T6x series?
Any bad solder, GPU problems?
Which moddels, GPU's?
Thank you!

"Flexing" as seen on T4x/R5x is not an issue with T6x series.
I've seen several cases of VRAM corruption on both X1400 and V5200-based boards.
Apart from that, nothing really worth mentioning.

VRAM corruption usually presents itself with a bunch of green/red squares all over the screen, or a BIOS page with hieroglyphic symbols...
There is no fix, planar replacement only.
It's really not a user-induced condition, hence there are no known preventive measures...

Why? With T60 machines now available in <$200 range everywhere, parts - including motherboards - have become quite inexpensive...
And the problem is really not
that common...
