    That depends on who you read. They are not extremely different. Some people have no issue with the mdified board. Others prefer the heavier t61-p board. You can take your pick. If you really don't like the original, then I'd recommend the t61-p board. If you "sort of" don't like the new keyboard it could go either way.

    The T61 style has a reinforced backplate. This makes it moderately stiffer than the T400 style, but has the downside of slightly more weight.
