Has Anyone Determined the T400/T500 Audio Recording Specs?
Has Anyone Determined the T400/T500 Audio Recording Specs?
Will the ability to record from various sources using Stereo Mix or "What-U-Hear" (like the good old T42/T43 units) remain crippled like on the T61 series?

Sorry to sound smart-butt, but since I doubt Lenovo will put "crippled audio" in their marketing, we will probably have to wait until actual units surface.eecon wrote:Will the ability to record from various sources using Stereo Mix or "What-U-Hear" (like the good old T42/T43 units) remain crippled like on the T61 series?
I don't know if it's listed in the spec sheets; evidently I'm not the only one who's not read them.
X220/IPS, T60p/IPS

Why not first read through the thread I linked above before flaming?qviri wrote:Sorry to sound smart-*****Expletives removed by Moderator*****, but since I doubt Lenovo will put "crippled audio" in their marketing, we will probably have to wait until actual units surface.eecon wrote:Will the ability to record from various sources using Stereo Mix or "What-U-Hear" (like the good old T42/T43 units) remain crippled like on the T61 series?

Also, you might try reading the official Lenovo Community Forum thread where Lenovo's forum rep confirms that the T and X 61 units have indeed been intentially audio recording crippled at the hardware level:
http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/mess ... ead.id=316
Bottom line ...... Lenovo crippled the X61/T61 units without specifying that change in any of their specs last year.

I know they crippled the *61s. (Pretty hard to miss this information given all of your posts on this board.) Nobody knows about the *00s. Sorry if you misunderstood my comment and took it for trolling.
As a side note, the forum rules require that you specify the city in which you are currently located, as opposed to the general area. See http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=63962.

As with the polls, we're not going to have multiple threads about this subject. I don't have the ability to join this to the existing ones, so it's getting locked.
