what's yall's opinion of this one? X60T with Core 2 Duo L7400 LV 1.5GHz. i haven't read any comparisons of this vs. the Core Duo in this hardware/usage context... has anyone any info?

I'd say it's worth $75 for 64-bit.

On the X60s I would definitely pay $25 for the upgrade.

One thing to note about X60s: it seems that you cannot get UL screen, bluetooth and L7400 altogether in the same machine as of now.

Last week was the best time to buy for those wanting UL display and BT. The price went up by $250 over last week.

Anyway, they finally came out with the C2D processor but they are definitely charging for it, and no UL screen makes me glad to have bitten on the deal.

this has become a busy topic over here:

apparently this is another strange lenovo.com mistake and there may indeed not be a C2D in X60T's yet.

methinks they need a proofreader for their web sales.

today the C2D is gone, but a new option is this:
12.1" MultiView + MultiTouch TN XGA TFT and Intel® Core™ Duo L2400 LV (1.67GHz, 2MB L2, 667MHz FSB) [add $24.00] [New]

the only difference for $24 is "TN". anyone know what this is???

There's some info here: http://www.gottabemobile.com/forum/foru ... p?TID=2463

The "WVA" panel is basically equivalant to the 15" Flexview IPS screen on your laptop. (btw, looking to sell?)

There are a few panel types.

IPS
MVA
PVA
TN

Then their derivatives.

S-IPS, AW-TS-IPS, AFFS
P-MVA
S-PVA
and so on.

The x60tablet screen was AFFS, a derivative of IPS

TN is the ugliest, cheapest and crappiest out of all of them. another step backward for lenovo. may not be their failt (boe-hydis = sony??) but oh well.

Oh... why they want to introduce this quality of screen into this top-end laptop series... that just doesn't make sense...

FWIW, the current Tabook.PDF still states super wide viewing angle FFS for all X60 Tablet models.

They have the C2D back again

I splurged (well there was a good 10% off deal)...I went for the C2D LV 7400 with multiview+multitouch:
SBB 12.1"MV+MTWVAXGA TFT+L7400

And it says it shipped today
So we shall see how well this 7400 works....I still have a T60 7200 "in process" for a month now so hopefull that'll be here soon and i can see them in action against each other

I doubt if I will choose the 64-bit Vista... as I don't want to risk the problems of lack of 64-bit drivers, and the backward incompatibility of 16-bit applications

oh... but if I am NOT going to install the Vista 64-bit version, it seems that the 64-bit capability of 1.5GHz C2D will not be utilized at all, and it will be slower than the 1.67GHz CD...
Am I correct on this?

Then should I go for the 1.67GHz Core Duo instead?

That's a great question and one I cannot figure out as well. Can you run 64-bit applications on a 32-bit operating system, or does it only work vise-versa?

No.

I got my x60 tablet with my LV7400 and i must say the thing is great. I'm running vista business and the smoothness of operation is pretty impressive. Loadtimes are comprable to the T7200 for major applications (Photoshop, Word, Outlook, etc). The only thing its not loading as fast is Vista itself - i assume that might be because of the tablet functionality? not sure but im thinking another gig of ram or something might help that along
Battery life also leaves a bit to be desired. I only have the smallest battery and it seems like when im drawing the battery will only last maybe 2 hours.
dont play any games or watch movies on it so cant tell ya how it does there.
