These can be had for cheap and pimped for 8Gb ram and 2.5Ghz CPU also very cheap. Problem is the nVidia 140 or 570 will die unless the machine was built after July 08. Problem is there is a very small window of machines built after that date. The reason they are extra cheap is the nVidia death is well documented and people steer clear as a result. Not many older laptops give WEI of mid 6`s for most indexes, barring the feeble 4.0 for the GPU.
Search google for "middleton bios" if you own one of these laptops or its brothers from the same period. SLIC 2.1, whitelist and best of all SATA2 speed instead of the Lenovo crippled SATA1 interface. You will see a new lease of life if you spend 75 of the main currencies on a Crucial M4 64Gb SSD and writes will top 108Mb/s with reads at a pleasant 286Mb/s. Current middleton BIOS is 2.29, it is simply a modded BIOS and he offers it free. It works, I type this comment on such a machine.
I used to have a T61, it was great except the crappy nVidia GPU which eventually died, but it's not Lenovo's fault, almost all nvidia gpus die over time... After that I bought old T60p with the 4:3 Flexview which I find to be times better, sturdier and problem free.
way too much flex on these thinkpads. thats why i chose HP this time. I still have my old 2001 thinkpad from IBM. Great laptop still works with windows 7 ultimate.
They shove the Kick Ass Core 2 T-9300 cpu in there which is like one of the top of the line mobile cpu's but then they bottle neck that shit with only 1Gb of memory? What the hell were they thinking? To save 20 bucks on the production of the laptop by not having 2GB standards? Terrible decision on an other wise very powerful Laptop for the price. I would spend an extra $45 bucks and buy another 1Gb of ram to really lean on the T-9300 cpu.
can you guys pleas, make a review video about this pc ASUS X5AVN-FP087C
pleas you guys are the best on making review video's about pc's soo i hope you make this one, im thinking of getting it soo i need to now about it, i heard it had 500 gb of hdd, is that real pleas make a video about it
Mac does absolutely fuckin suck.....i think if i was givin a mac pro or sumtin i would use it for target practice and shoot the fuck out of it.....sides i had the mac os x OS all together...
Macs suck!!!!! theyre horrible are school uses them they suck there not compatible with bassically anything and the setups terrible... god i hate those things they crash all the time and take for ever to load
I almost thought this thing was a ripoff, but yes, the price is high, but 128MB dedicated video card, 7200RPM hard disk, "Genius" processor and a memory slot ain't bad. Throw in some cheap RAM and this machine should be great.
i'm using this laptop right now, it plays crysis on low settings :P it's only good for business users, they made us buy it in my university, i'm a gamer not a business user!!! damn u university!
hey my dad works as an analyst for HP India. because of him, your pc's are being developed. for HP, he gets paid enough to have a big house ,car, money and everything. its all about talent, and india haas more
Americans invented the fucking computer dumbass, we don't need Indians! If India is sooo great why do you come here to take jobs, why dont you create your own?
The point is that it is used for business. No one cares if you're laptop is "pretty". Its for cold-hard business, it's not supposed to look flashy/pretty.
Now personal computers and laptops should look cool.
good quality? the only reson people think it is good quality because people think it is IBM. heres a history less for you , IBM filed for bancrupcy and sold the whole company to lenovo.
in the morning they do HP , during the lunch they do Apple and in the afternoon they make IBM whats the deal? You think the USA and Europe still makes their things? Get real...
"In 2005 the Chinese manufacturer, Lenovo, purchased the ThinkPad brand from IBM, in a five year deal whereby IBM still helps in the marketing and support of these products."
It doesnt sound that IBM has its hands off, but I must confirm - the last T6x models were absolutely terrific... like IBM... the new T500 are pure shit... they had even changed that old school legendary IBM keyboard....
hope one day the IBM will return and fix these mistakes
IBM sounds a way more better than lenovo.That history can't end like it happened...but it happened,because it seems, there aren't any people looking for quality,propably that's why IBM went in bankruptcy.
you know its true but what can we do? International Business Machine corp. was the first computer brand... too bad they passed away and I still believe they will come back with their thinkpads.
@smellytoilet1996 IBM never went bankrupt? Where did you get that? IBM is still one of the largest IT companies in the world. They just sold off their personal computer division to Lenovo.
this thing sucks balls... i mean i miss it but... maybe its just laptop quality nowdays... so cheap and flimsy
