    There are four(up two, bottom two) holes in T61's screen bezel.

    Does anyone know what their function is for?

    Guys,
    T61p 15" WUXGA is sort of heavy.....But my question is why there are four "holes" there?

    Maybe so that liquid can drain through if you ever spill anything on your screen, instead of puddling?

    Maybe to make it a bit easier to pry off the bezel if you need to service the screen.

    I think that is called the Kung Fu Laptop Grip, and not all laptops can handle it, Vaios for example :D

    those are where they stick in metal slides to hold the lcd in place...

    I also have a 15.4" T61p AND it has the heavy 9-cell battery.

    I decided to try holding my Thinkpad this way, and the screen broke!

    Just kidding... it didn't hurt anything :D These are strong laptops!
