    She arrived all boxed up and camera shy.

    [​IMG]

    I could hear the butterflies in her stomach when I started to pick her up for a dance. But then I realized that it was her battery charger that was sliding around.

    I finally coaxed her out of the shell and she was gorgeous...

    ps. Doesn't she look desirable in those high heels?

    Oh she is so hot... My X61 is mighty jealous, though I've always preferred more petite TPs...

    That's a WSXGA+ screen, yes? If so, can you look up the manufacturer or FRU#? I'm curious to know whether or not Lenovo is finally using different screens or they're still using screens leftover from the T60 family.

    Yup it's a WSXGA+ screen. Made by LG-Phillips apparently year 2005! See details here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=311572

    Possibly they are using leftover screens!

    Yeah came with XP Pro Recovery DVD. But trust me, don't use it. Most drivers in there are pre-release versions. Better to do a clean install! Than to waste hours installing recovery dvd, identifying, un-installing and installing drivers.

    But if you're doing a clean install, aren't you using the recovery DVD?

    Or what do you mean by a clean install, then?

    Now we're mentioning it, is it possible to create a Vista install disc from the pre-installation?

    Try using VLite for a good clean Vista install.

    The lighting in those pictures is really good, and the laptop looks great. How is the battery life with the FireGL?

    Thanks! I'm not using much of the battery nowadays. It's pretty much plugged in most of the time with the battery at 40%. Did try running the battery from 100% to 5% and took around 3hours, with web surfing.

    She's undergoing a makeover right now so we'll have to wait awhile for the results...
