All the right part of the keyboard is much more cold then the left part. So they can drive some heat in this area. The whole keyboard can be used as a big thermal interchange. They use to do it for T61 where a part of the fan assembly drive the GPU heat to the keyboard base. I noticed that too. THe...

I guess that answers why it gets warm after prolonged use of the computer

okay this is what I discovered T61 is really cool and then get warms. But if I keep working or watching movies and hearing songs for around 4-5 hours it starts getting a bit hot especially under the RAM and hdd. I removed the corsair additional RAM and it looks like it generates more heat as well. S...

I did a search of old threads

and found this

http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... hlight=hot

so this looks fairly okay.

But when all these reviews call thinkpad cool do they just talk about the working surface or do they measure the temperatue at the back of the notebook as well??

No I am so sad. The notebook that boosted of some cooling features does get hot. Especially the places under the hdd and RAM. It is crazy that half the notebook is hot while half is cold. Wonder if there is some way to reduce the heat? Would it be because of the corsair ram that I added? :?: Anyone...

Btw do you guys feel that the right palm rest is not as strong as the left one??

Thanks for the reply guys. Yeah now I remember the screw pack. Probably I will tighten the drive as I won't be removing it

I don't get it. So is something missing there?? T61 already came with a DVD writer. I am not sure if it is ultrabay or something. If it is missing can I get one from lenovo or do I return the notebook?

Hi guys, Can someone tell me what is this at the back of my T61. Did lenovo forget to fix some screw or is it supposed to be open like this?? http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/205/1002520nz8.jpg Its close to the battery thanks Note from Moderator: Points for having a warning in the subject line so ...

Most likely your ISP is blocking them. I hear comcast does it in US. IN canada rogers does it

Hi,
I had 1GB and I installed an additional 1GB. I was expecting to see 2048MB. But I just see 2014. Not a big loss but still.

thanks

3. Yes if your T61 uses integrated intel graphics.

Click Fn+Home / Fn+End to adjust screen brightness.

Nope mine has nvidia 140M. So there is some problem with the memory

Hi, Can you guys tell me if these are problems or just features 1. Whenever I log into the computer, I see all the desktop icons and then the screen just goes black as if it is refreshing for a second and then everything is back to normal. Is this a problem or due to some screen adjustment?? 2. I ru...

thanks for the replies. But the wait is killing me. It has all been packed and assigned a trackign number since the day before. The only problem seems to be that they have not handed it to UPS

I wonder why there cant be a cheaper HD DVD option. Bluray is like 710$ in dell While some dell laptops cost 499

Can anyone tell me if T61 gets heated in the bottom or on the palm area after prolonged use?? I checked an inspiron 1520 and it would almost fry the lap if I use for more than 4 hours. Just wondering how good/bad is it for T61.

Thanks

After lot of thinking I am all set to press the purchase button. But I did like to have your opinion on the system as well.

Ghost..this is a very very bad deal. Check out the visaperks site they have a similar config machine (only difference is it is 120gb hdd and 1gb ram). And the price is an amazing 1399 CDN.

The only restriction is you have to buy using a visa credit card

Hi,
In Lenovo canada website, I find that the version of the notebook I am planning to buy comes with Office onenote 2007. So my question is do they provide a back up cd as well?? If not would there be any way possible to reinstall it after formatting??
