I use one at school, on amazon it costs $1000. It is by far the WORST laptop I have ever used, it is very slow. It uses XP and is used very little, it is still very slow, once again, by far the WORST laptop I have used.

@LightningDragon1999 You had to have had a bad one, or one that was locked down to prevent you from using it. Was it an entry level T61?

This T61 was one of my all-time favorite Thinkpads.

[600evan]

how much is the T61?

[maddmaddworld]

@600evan This one was between $2,000-2,500, but I don't have it any more. It was only for a project that I was working on. That model is now about 3 years old.

dell owns =)

i want a new laptop for my bday, and i picked out the specs and everything on dell and now my dad is sayin u may get a thinkpad...im thinkin no...i mean...the thinkpad looks BAD and its poorly built...dell is quality. i dont like the way this thing looks...its just ugly to me. i like glossy finish laptops with glossy screens.

[maddmaddworld]

If you don't like the way that it looks, so be it...BUT Thinkpad's quality is FAR superior to Dell...ANY day. Do a little research if you are fighting to get a Dell. Stay away from the Inspirons...

Alright... old comment, but I'm going to chime in. Nearly every laptop I have owned has been a Thinkpad, other than a couple of Dell XPS machines(I currently have an M1730 and several Thinkpads). Build quality, etc. on the Thinkpads is FAR better, and they will withstand a lot more abuse. I game on the M1730... I WORK on my T60.

@LightningDragon1999

Laptop was obviously set up by idiots with loads of bloatware. I suspect you are not even using a T6x series at all, XP runs fast on everything since the T4x series (even with normal bloatware).

@maddmaddworld

[OnRockIT]

@crazyzeldakid I hope you listened to your father.

[techkra]

I'm about to buy one of these off eBay. They look really good! I love the Thinkpads!

[Marco665]

Intro was waaay to long, it would be better if you prepared some script earlier. :)

About the T61 - i thought that they have the new logo on the palmrest.

Anyway, I just ordered my T61 7663-CTO which should arrive next week It's used but in mint condition, it cost about 500 dollars.

Have you tested the gpu performance in yours?

@maddmaddworld and is now an excellent buy on ebay!
