Does anyone have the elusive G50?

#1 Post by Thinkpad4by3 » Sat Jul 01, 2017 10:11 am

Never seen one, but for who has it, is it a cool machine like the other G-series? How does it compare to a R60/T60?
The only acceptable use for a MacBook is to shop for a Thinkpad.

Sorry if I was unclear, I meant the IBM(Lenovo?) Thinkpad G50, successor to the Thinkpad G41.

I've never seen one in real life.

My understanding is that it sports what is essentially an Intel-based T60 board with a G4x power circuit (!!!!!) and an XGA panel. Sold only in the Far East, and for a very limited period of time.
