I had my T60 for almost 3 years now, bought after extensive research in Dec. 2006 then 1500 €.
Basic information: T5600 1.83 Ghz, 4GB Ram, 250GB Momentus 7200.4 HDD, 1400x1050px IPS Flex View Panel, Ubuntu 9.04, Win7 64bit)
keyboard: still the reference, it is my opinion no better notebook keyboards. The T60 keyboard in conjunction with the track point is unbeatable.
fan: On Ubuntu, Windows and appropriate tools (tpfand, tpfancontrol) at the start, so you can limit the fan activity to a minimum.
graphics card (Ati X1300): The biggest drawback of the laptop, poor 3D performance, unnecessary power consumption, poor Videodekodingunterstützung (VLC play HD from barely)
Hard Disk: now the 3rd Seagate Momentus 7200.4 250GB generation a Geforce Protection with it, not super noticeable, despite the Speed, a successful Upgrade:) (avg-Read: almost 80MB / s)
Ram: upgraded to 4GB, 3GB are available via chipset.
Display: Unless one is in the works absolutely free cream. Top colors, 1A angle and 4:3 with 1400x1050px, my favorite component is also the main reason for buying
software: I use no mitlerweile Lenovozusatzsoftware more, but the programs are real top. Windows 7 makes almost all out-of-the-box. Unfortunately, system not update the new OS.
reasons the T60 "exchange":
- only 3GB Ram
- battery life for new models (T500) significantly better onboard graphics
- only SATA1 interface, ie fast SSDs are not supported adequately (up to 130MB / s)
- the dramatic few interfaces, really a joke;) (No: Firewire, DVI / HDMI / Display Port, Card Reader, Webcam)
keeping reasons, the T60:
- Speed presented to me from among all 2D applications, games are a desktop thing
- Super processing + the horny display, form factor, stability
- Nostalgia
- newly purchased 9-cell battery
But the main reason:
I can not find any new notebooks approach me as real, and justify the additional cost (1000 €) at this unit would. Possibly. the T400, but that is mostly expensive, and the resolution of 1400x1050 should not actually be less
The T500 is a good device, but ugly (asymmetrical display frame), has a bad keyboard and the display is not a revelation.
