When you receive it, would you weigh it if possible? My X40 is 2.76 lbs and am curious whether the X60s is really lighter.

pianowizard: did you weigh your X40 at 2.76lbs? If so, I assume that was with the small 4 cell battery?

floyyed, what date did you place your order?

Yeah, I weighed it using a balance in my lab, so 2.76 lbs is the actual weight and not just an estimate. It has a 4-cell battery. It's a pity that Lenovo would rather sell the 8-cell battery for most models, making them half a pound heavier. I don't like anything above 2.99 lbs, because whenever I go to conferences, I need to carry a laptop in my backpack for almost 10 hours everyday for 5 to 10 days in a row. The 5.2-lb TP600E that I previously owned and the 4.15-lb Dell Inspiron 700m that I still have were both way too heavy.

I have an X32 and weighed it a 3 lbs 11 oz; an X22 I have weighed 3 lb 8 oz. Thus I am interested in 2lbs 12oz.

However, is the X40 the machine with the tiny (and slow) HD? Has a faster replacement HD been offered yet?

Thanks.

Nope, and thats why I sold my X40 and took an X31 for it instead (and installed a 7200rpm harddisk

)

YOU WONT REGRET TO BUY AN X60s..

YES, waiting is worth!

Floyyed,
Can you write some reviews on your x60s? Such as design, keyboard, battery life, heat, fan noise issues? We are waiting for your reviews, since you are lucky to receive a x60s so early. Thanks,

1. LCD cover is very thin, but still strong, not a weak plastic, I like it.
LCD is bright enough, and in good shape.
2. keyboard, is a good design, at least most keys still in IBM's quality,track point is alittle bit hard, but it can be adjusted.
3. battery, I got a 8cells battery (SANYO) hold 74.88wh, I did not use whole battery, but I thought it can hold on more than 6.5~7 hrs.
4 fan noise? no! never heard.
5. My model is 1704-66U, come w/ Verizon wireless 3G, therefore, under the right palmrest will be full of wireless card (abg, LAN, Verizon, BT...), they cause the right palmrest a little bit warm, but acceptable.
6. HD is TOSHIBA SATA 5400rpm 80GB, silent and fast. Although I ordered 7K100 100GB.
7. X6 ultrabase is very convenient, you may remove the X60 easily.

I will do more test in these days (before they send me return shipping label) haha..

oh, the memory I got is Elpida DDR2 667 512mb.

Looks like they are starting to ship these. My 17065KU I ordered on 2/8 says it shipped today.

Edit 3/1: They attempted delivery today..but I'm out of town

...never thought a shipment from China would take one day!

vitya14 · #22 Post by **vitya14** » Tue Feb 28, 2006 11:47 am

For those who's thinkpads have shipped, what did you guys have as the estimated ship date? Mine just moved to 4/4/06 from 2/28/06!

vitya14 · #27 Post by **vitya14** » Tue Feb 28, 2006 11:28 pm

Well, that is somewhat encouraging -- I may not have to wait another month.

CHoPSTICK89 · #28 Post by **CHoPSTICK89** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 12:15 am

I feel like the only one that didn't get mine shipped today. Ordered a custom X60 though
