Hello Gals and Lads,
the time has come when I shall put some radio transmitter into the room of my 1-year-old baby. And this led me to an question - which of the vintage thinkpads had an best audio system installed in it? As far as I know A31p which i do own had/have superior speakers complared to any other laptop. But is there anything (ThinkPad branded) better than that you may know and I don't? I'd be grateful for any input in this case.

Re: Thinkpad with best audio subsystem
The only other thinkpads with good audio are the X300/X301, by far. The speakers have a great upper and mid section with OK bass and uses a better audio chip than other thinkpads. The X301 uses SU9400/SU9600 cpus and are still enough for most basic tasks including web browsing, streaming 1080p videos, email, and word processing.

Re: Thinkpad with best audio subsystem
A31p and X301 are the way to go. The 385XD also has a good audio system with a mini subwoofer. The 600X has potential, if only its speakers actually had an enclosure!
The last ThinkPad witha decent DAC was the X301. The last ThinkPad with a good DAC was arguably the T43. The ThinkPad with the best DAC is the A31p.
The A31p is superior in every way when it comes to audio.

Re: Thinkpad with best audio subsystem
First of all thanks for quick response and all advices so far. Second of all there's an obvious mistake in my first post - I ment radio receiver not and transmitter
. A31p sound quality is really great indeed I just needed to know if there's anything better than this.
