Thinkpad T60p Questions

1.) Will the Thinkpad T60p with the ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 play Counter Strike: Source, Half Life 2, and Battlefield 2 nice and smoothly?

2.) Would I be able to hook up the Thinkpad T60p to the Dell 20 inch Ultrasharp Widescreen Flat Panel Display? Will I have any issues because the Thinkpad T60p is not a widescreen and the Dell monitor is a widescreen?

3.) How much does the T60p with the 14 inch screen weigh? Is it worth getting the 14 inch over the 15 inch? I will be taking it to class occassionally and to the library and student center very frequently.

4.) How is Lenovo support?

5.) Does the Thinkpad T60p come with an XP CD?

Those are all the questions I have for now. I will make my purchase based on these answers. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the feedback. I would appreciate if more people could back this up and answer my questions.

 

1. Not with all the bells and whistles, but you should be able to play those games pretty smoothly.

2. I'm 98% sure that you can run the widescreen screen just fine with the T60.

3. The 14 inch laptop weighs around 5.2 to 5.5 pounds. The 15 inch one weighs around 6.2 pounds. The weight difference isn't all that much and 15 inches is still pretty portable. It's up to you, though.

4. I just read a magazine which reviewed computer company tech support and it gave Lenovo an A.

5. Mine did, I'm not sure if that's standard. However, you can make backup copies of your entire computer with the included software.

 

Thanks. Anyone else have any thoughts?

 

#2. I think i saw somewhere in software update that the thinkpad external screen software now supports external widescreen
