                 ThinkPad 6 Cell Li-Ion Battery
                 ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN MiniPCI Express Adapter
                 Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
                 80 GB 5400 rpm SATA Hard Drive
                 ThinkPad 24X/24X/24X/8X Max Combo Ultrabay Slim Drive
                 1GBMB PC2-5300 CL5 NP DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM

Yeah, it's a Core Duo. Willysilly seems to be buying the same one soon.

Any experiences on this hardware? I purposely dropped off the IPW3945 wireless for the Atheros one. Other than that I'm assuming it works fine.

XP Pro was an extra $70. Seeing as it will just be deleted anyway, no sense in paying more for a frisbee.

/me wants one looks on ebay

phrakture · 2006-06-29 18:28:25

Here... this wasn't in my order form:

Intel Core Duo processor T2400 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2, 667MHz FSB)
14.1 inch SXGA+ (1400x1050) TFT
3 USB 2.0 (back)
Integrated Gigabit Ethernet

Yay, looks sexy!

(I'd buy the XP Pro license anyway, since I'd use it for work)

My work laptop is provided for me. It came ghosted with all I need, so I have no need for a real XP install. While I have an install, it's only to test compile some things, really.

What is the price? I know some guy who bought a laptop he claims to be 3x faster than his desktop computer.

It was about $1650 USD, and until tomorrow there's a $200 MIR

I have an X60s, is a fine Laptop

But at the momen speedstepping and ACPI don't work, and not all of the FN +X Keys, but I think the error is placed 70 cm from the Display..

whargoul · 2006-06-29 19:14:09

It's cheaper than my friend laptop. But anyway - here is the laptop ge bought. http://uk.zepto.com/Default.aspx?page=N … M8xYjXUsjW look at the "Optimum performance".

elasticdog · 2006-06-29 21:49:57

Very nice phrak! I've been thinking about getting myself a laptop lately and was looking at the Lenovos. You'll have to post back and let us know if you have problems getting things working.

whargoul · 2006-06-29 22:08:45

Hmm when I am looking at those Lenovo laptops there is one thing there is stopping me from bying them. They are using ATI graphic cards. I hate using ATI.

benplaut · 2006-06-29 23:02:36

w00t!

we always need more devs with thinkpads and atheros

Have fun

Well, you can always try the open-source ATI driver... I've heard that's gotten pretty good.

(Unless the cards use PCI-x of course...)

codemac · 2006-06-30 01:48:50

yay phrakture.

I tend to agree, but it's not like I need uber accelerated graphics. I use ratpoison 8)

Still, ATI is better than the Intel chips...

iphitus · 2006-06-30 03:31:44

ATI rocks for ratpoison! It's got ascii acceleration

nppangband is in [extra] if you want it

anyway, damned nice computer you're orderin there, even if it does have ATi. Does it have the fingerprint scanner? I looked IBM's fingerprint scanner up the other day, and it has a full pam module, so you can use it to login or for pretty much anything that uses pam.

not just login, but almost anywhere you type a password, su, sudo, etc. Take a look in /etc/pam.d for an idea of what apps on your system use pam. Some need patches, though, like xscreensaver.

That is one really nice laptop you've got there Phrak. If for some reason you decide you don't like it, just UPS it to me.

Wow, I didn't know biometrics were so simple to set up. I luv you Linux.

phrakture · 2006-07-06 22:24:04

I'm still waiting... approx delivery date is the 13th.... sigh. At least I get internet at home tomorrow.

Snarkout · 2006-10-12 23:34:58

Any updates? I'm looking at a new thinkpad (r, z, or t) since my t42 is being handed over to my wife. Issues with sata and suspend or anything like that?
