Future thinkpad work.

#1 Post by thinkpadinside » Sun Jun 21, 2009 7:04 pm

Hi guys. Im going to buy a thinkpad, and it will have one of these graphics cards: Mobility X1300, X1400, or Intel GMA 950. I know GMA 950 works OOB, but how has the experience been with mobility x1400/x1300? Also, has anybody gotten the access ibm button to do anything in OS X, or gotten the volume hardware buttons to do anything in os x (like shows volume increase/decrease/mute in the actual GUI form)?

i have an x1300 T60, and overall it's ok, i would avoid the 1680x1050 screens (which is what i have) because that max it will do is 1440x1050 with this video card. I've tried everything but it won't work, the V5250 is a little more compatible at the higher resolutions.

the GMA950 will save you the most headaches, if you don't need the ATI card (for games or whatever) then go with the GMA950, i think the battery life is also a little better.
