This Laptops give to us some advantages, like this :
1. good old war horse
first i want to be very clear...i am reviewing the machine not the operating system. sooooo many problems with these machines have to do with the o.s. and have nothing to do with the machine.
when i get a machine, i take out the h.d. and put in my own with linux. maybe i'll dual boot with windows but thats rare.
i have owned the old ibm t-pads and the lenovos and i think they are great machines and this one is no exception. for such an outdated cpu (t7300), its very snappy and does the normal surfy, streamy things just dandy.
i put a solid state h.d. in mine and i recommend them for a little more speed.
excellent keyboard and decent display and right now the cpu cores are running at...35c and 39c and the fan isn't even running. thats nice and cool.
there was a problem with the hinges loosening on these, but i took mine apart and checked them. they were tight but there is that typical slight wobble that you get with older machines (and most new ones). they will...

2. Good condition
I love the T61. It is bullet-proof and everything was good about this unit except the battery life. Only an hour and a half, so I bought a new 9-cell for $26. Now it is as good as new. The seller makes sure the screen and unit are in perfect condition. I'm willing to pay a little extra for that.

Need more appointment... ?
Bad product, bad attitude
I bought a top-of-the-line version of this for my son for med but it turned out to be completely unreliable. And 9 of the 10 others in his class who had Lenovo's had the exact same experience. Only 1 was satisfied. What's worse, when we had a disagreement with Lenovo over whether we should pay for a repair that did not fix the problem, the head of Lenovo's customer service department told me -- and this is an exact quote -- "I don't care what's good for the customer, I care what's good for Lenovo. BEWARE!
