Amazing power

I have never seen such an optimized notebook like T61. It even runs Vista extremely well. It never hangs. All heavy RAM demanding programs also cannot make the system slow.
Excellent machine

I have been a big fan of ThinkPad's for a long time. I have an old R31 at home that runs xubuntu like a champ. Debian with Flux ran even smoother. I was not surprised with this purchase, just amazing. Excellent performance, beautiful ThinkPad looks an overall great laptop. A lot of the problems I'm seeing in these reviews are OS problems; try something other than Windows sheep's.
Lenovo Thinkpad T61p review

I have read the reviews here and I can not believe what I'm reading. It is very obvious that people are misrepresenting the Lenovo Thinkpad T-61p and other Lenovo Thinkpads. This is in fact a wonderful Thinkpad to own. I have compared it to its competitors and they do not even come close in quality, design and performance.
Also, do not worry about the screen quality with Lenovo. It is still much better than its competitors by a large margin. And besides, it is not Lenovo or the other competitors fault. Blame it on the screen manufacturers like Samsung, etc. It is their fault for making poor screens. I say bring back the "Flexview" screens!!
Lenovo may not be the leader as of yet but they will be soon.
And for those who are about to purchase a laptop, seriously search for "independent" reviews rather than from people "whining." And besides, it will be a lot more fun to learn more about what you are about to purchase before you invest the money.
Was a good machine

I am totally disappointed. I have a new t61p which crash when gaming. Many users complain about that. The only workaround is to remove one RAM module or to change the mobo and pray to be a good one.
I have spent a lot for an IBM machine but this is crap.
Thanks IBM for the past machines and shame on you Lenovo.

Not a Gaming machine

Some negatives reviews are posted from gamers so let's get one thing straight...
Tpads were meant and intended for BUSINESS use NOT GAMING! If you want a laptop for games, either buy the High End TP91p work stations with the 512mb video cards which are meant for serious graphics work or just buy another laptop!
Tpads are good for occasional leisure activities like watching DVD's but if you want to use it for INTENSIVE graphic activities, then you should reconsider which laptop will fit your needs!
Overall, the TP T series is a good series though still rather overpriced! Expect to keep it for at least 3-5 years as the TPs do last that long!
