Is it all right to own two laptops?

Can't resist any more and placed an order for the R61.

Is it all right to own two laptops ??
I have an X60s and a desktop.


Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5470 (1.6GHz 800MHz 2MBL2)[1]
Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic[12]
14.1 WXGA+ TFT, w/o Camera

Yes, just as long as you're not starving yourself to finance this "habit" of yours.

Enjoy!

 

how much did you pay for it?
and it's all right to have 2 laptops. I used to have 3 at the time, but sold/gave them away.

 

No. It's illegal.

 

what's wrong with your x60s? that nerfed R61 you bought probably won't perform any better than your x60s, if you bought the highest performance x60s.

to each his own habits.

I have 2 Louis Vuitton messenger bags, 2 Coach map bags, 2 Kenneth Cole messenger bags, and a Halliburton Zero silver stainless terrorist looking briefcase.

enjoy. but watch out for the woman in your life. she'll slap you silly.

 

Lol, yeah I have a transformer "habit". I'm up to about 150+ from G1 all the way to current movie. My Fiance doesn't say much, but were not married yet. I imagine it will come to a screeching halt soon enough, so lol, I have bought about 15 of them in the past 2 weeks.

 

This IS what I am worrying about.

 

My lady is quite cool actually.

Man, you collect bags?

My X60s has core duo L2400.

 

jor, I think Playmaker was kidding with you.

 

I sold my D420. Bought this X60s off ebay for 700 + 22 shipping.

And the R61?? I just configure as anyone else did - 6cell+WXGA+ were the only upgrade.

550 after tax

 

Hehe, I feel a bit guilty after placing the order.

I used to drive two blocks away to save 10 cents on gas.

 

I'm tempting to get this one, only if I can find another 10% off coupon. sigh....

 

another 10%?

there's one on the right of your screen! you used it?

 

I think I am gonna sell my desktop, so that I don't need to starve myself.

 

there is no 10% on my right screen. I used EPP account, which give 15% off.

 

I currently have 4 laptops in working condition. I get a new one about every three or four years and simply neglected to divest myself of the prior one each time ....

 

Hey,

come on. 530 for this machine is a steal, OK?

 

The thing is in the last 3 years. I've owned and sold/given away:

toshiba a135
Dell 700m
dell e1705
dell e1505 X 2
dell d420
lenovo v200

I am sick, man, I am sick!

 

I just got my t61 2 weeks ago, and still haven an option to get another t61 w/ EPP+10%off from last week. for $860 before tax. I'm fighting w/ myself.

 

Two lappies are always a good start!

 

start to .....

 

Hi,

do you think the performance/quality/style difference between t61 and r61 worth the price difference? the t5470 isn't that bad for daily use, right?

 

place them all around the house as in kitchen, living room, patio, bedroom, dining area and last but definitely not least and my favorite area i.e the bathroom!!

I think one major advantage the R-61 has over the above T-61 configuration is the GPU. So many reviews these days have stressed that CPU is now hardly the bottleneck and it's now more about the GPU. For normal daily work I seriously doubt you will have any regrets going with that cheaper T5470 over the T7300.

 

why nobody upgrades the warranty?

 

I like 12"'s, because they can be put on the laps while cr**

that's the true moment of 'laptop'

 

for daily use the t5470 is really fit for that purpose. Remember, the T and R series are just like Lexus ES 350 and Toyota Camry. They are basicaly the same car w/ minor differences. If I didnt buy my T61 a few weeks back, I could have just buy this R61 now and save a few hundred bucks.

 

'cuz it's only $500 i guess.

 

People buying the thinkpads dont get the warranty initially is because they have about a year to upgrade the warranty. I am definitely going to get the maximum warranty that I can afford. And yes I miss my 12" powerbook for the same reasons!! LOL

 

it gives me a reason to keep both laptops then! GREAT!

I am a big fan of warranty. I just don't know how good Lenovo warranty is. I bought complete care for almost all of my previous dell. peace of mind is priceless.

 

I see your point.

I've never owned a 14" so far. I hope it's a good balance of screen size and weight.

I loved the WSXGA+ on my E1505 and I love the size of my X60s. Only if they make a 12" with WXGA+!!

 

you know that website where you stare at the screen to try and find something, then something jumps out at you? That always scares the......

 

I know!!

 

GREAT... EST. ship date 09/13/07

 

I have the same problem. I have a Dell precision M90 17", and I placed an order for a t61P@$1485.
I'm tryign to justify it based on portability....
It was a really good deal.

 

i'm in the same boat. I just saw a great deal on a m1710 and wanted to get it as a backup to my m90. guess i'm getting a little greedy when it comes to laptops. I think I am going to get a r61 also but ultimately want an x6xs when they have a better screen.

 

why do you want to 17"?

 

You really NEED the t61p, buddy.

 

No I dont. I fully realise that I'm splurging.
But it will be covered by warranty for 6 years (5 from lenovo and one from CC).

I was in the market for a thinkpad, and I really debated whether to get a used T42 or a new T61P.
Finally, the WUXGA screen with its 500:1 contrast ratio (T42's usually have 200:1 or 300:1), made me lean over to the T61P side.

 

that's a smoking hot screen!!

 

Eh.. I've owned the same amount of laptops as you. You're fine .

For the past 3 years I've had:

HP NC6000
ASUS M5N
BenQ Joybook 7000
Dell 700m
Macbook
ASUS Z62J
HP DV2000 CTO

I used to own an Atari 2600!! Beat THAT now!!

 

TI-99-4A
tandy color computer 2
tandy 1000ex

the ones before thinkpads

these were actual computers, not game consoles, although they are not laptops. And I did have that atari 2600, I played Yar's Revenge!

 

went to the apple store today.

why did you get rid of the macbook?

 

turbografx 16 people! turbografx 16!

 

TI-99-4A?

How about a TRS-80 from the late 70's?
p.s. it is still kicking around in the attic...

=========================

We got the expensive model, the one with 16 KB RAM. The tape drive was lousy and didn't work too well.

same here, ive owned dells, toshiba, apple, and one asus in the last 3 years. whenever i see college students on campus with an older laptop and how they cant afford a new one i get feel so bad for them. then theres me pulling out a new laptop ever couple months. LOL

 

1) I used Windows more than Mac OS X .
2) It was slow for me.

I actually got it for a decent deal too. It was a refurb 1.83 / 512 / 60 / Combo for $799, and I got 1 GB of ram instead of 512 .

 

Atleast those college student are getting educated unlike... nevermind! WOW! ToshibaDude you are so uber cool. Good for you showing those poor college students who's got the bling!!

 

Every two months ??? What do you do with the older laptops ?
