Lots of pictures of my T61 14.1"

Well I was comparing it to a desktop LCD, so it really isn't fair. The screen isn't that bad, but not as good as some laptop screens I've seen before.

 

Jae, have u tried running Warcraft III on it? is the notebook fast Overall?

 

Thank you for increasing my desire for the T61!

Nice pictures though, very thorough.

 

Do all the T61s have the thinklight and camera?

 

Thinklight comes standard while camera is optional.

 

Bought mine today $1360 CDN altogether for Model: 766417U =)

Only bought it cause I got a hook up from my sister, hopefully it's good.

 

Does this thing have an onboard mic?

 

I cannot help but wonder if one of those exterior screen calibrations units would help the colors immensely.

I have always threatened to get one of those just on general principles. I think they are somewhere around $100.

Just my 2 coppers.

Sweet machine!

Wow
1360 CDN for 17U is an awesome deal. I remember the advertised price in lenovo website is $1799 CDN.
Where did you get yours

 

$1799 CDN before tax mine was $1200 CDN before tax..

Lets just say... I know the owner of Lenovo hahah I'll post pics up tonight, 1 day delivery =) bought yesterday, getting it today.

 

I got the same computer for $1800. It's worth it at $1800 and certainly more so at $1200. You're gonna love it.

 

Congrats on the laptop

 

Congrats on the purchase. I also got a pretty killer deal on my T61.

And I also don't have a clue if this thing has a mic. Does anyone know?

 

Yep its right above the headphones plug to the right of the touch pad.

 

Ah, I was thinking that looked like a mic. I think I need to set it up though. Tried it in Counter Strike, but wasn't working.

 

goto control panel, sound, click the recording tab and hit properties, you can adjust the gain from there. my mic works excellent with skype and google talk

 

i GOT IT TODAY, SOOO SWEET I LOVE IT =)

 

Wow that's quick delivery.

 

Yeah it was a prebuilt 766417U Got the LG panel (Very bright and nice, with no light leak or dead pixels, and don't know how to check for the keyboard

 

Did you order it through the normal route (i.e. website, but with a larger discount), or did you somehow like bypass the line?

 

Just wondering how is the palm rest, i noticed at a retail store that it is very flexable and it has like a dip in the middle on both sides of the mouse pad.

 

It's not rock hard but definitely not very flexible.

 

Bypass, my sister is a computers middleman type of thing, bought the thinkpad at 10am, and she dropped it off for me after work.

 

Oh yeah, here are some pics that I promised =)

 

On Lenovoblogs.com I see a lot of people complaining about Blue Screen (BSOD) issues. Has anyone who received T61 recently, seen it?

Or do you have any other reason for not recommending T61 to any new buyer?

(I am debating between T61 and 1520. Leaning towards T61 for price and XP support)

 

@rickyng

I'm not sure what to say about that Emma Watson background. :lol:

 

I love emma watson =)

 

This is Dateline NBC...

 

That BSOD problem is already solved. You have to delete the iAstror and iAstorV parameters from the register. It's also on the Intel site. Maybe it's not even necessary anymore with the new drivers.
