Looking for a laptop and would really like to be able to install OSX.
Is this a good model? What kind of issues will I have installing on this model? Is there a better model Thinkpad for OSX?
Thanx for your help

Hi.

the CTO at the end of the Type/Model stands for"Configure To Order", which means this is not a standard model, but one that you have customized.

You should describe it (processor, ram, hard drive, graphic card, wifi, irda, bluetooth,...) if you want someone to be able to answer you

I have installed OSX on my T30/R52/ and T60 it runs fine. The only problems are those mentioned in previous post's here in this conference, like the screen res pretty much will be stuck on 1024X768 even on higher res screens, unless someone has come up with a hack for that, the wireless is an issue and some software incompatibilities, but there are work arounds.

The T60 is running OSX

I actually changed my order and I am now purchasing a T60.
The specs are as Follows....

T60 6371 (CTO) With the WSXGA+_TFT

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66 GHz

512 RAM ( I will install another 1GB chip when I recieve it)

INTEL GMA 950

120 GB 5400RPM HD
DVD-ROM 8x Max, Ultrabay Slim

So what's the verdict? Give me the bad news first.

Any tips, tricks, or general wisdom on setting up and installing is greatly appreciated.
Thanx again
