Refurbished T61 what do you think? with warranty 2 years
I am considering this, instead of dead R500- could not repair error of going to suspend all the time, see other thread.
Notebook Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Intel Core 2 Duo 1,8 GHz T7100, 2 GB RAM DDR2, 100 GB HDD SATA, COMBO, displej 15,4"W, COA
about USD 275
Imported from big companies, cca 3 years of use on it, refurbished resold with warranty. Need a temporary solution...what do you guys think?
2. I am buying it in place of my dead R500. the r500 has a display with same resolution.
Would I be able to use the R500¨s display as a spare part, if the one in the T61 broke? thanks

The most important piece of puzzle is missing: Intel or nVidia?

I don't think that's as big of a deal if there is a warranty.ajkula66 wrote:The most important piece of puzzle is missing: Intel or nVidia?

Well, if it were Lenovo's warranty I'd agree...
This is obviously a "third-party" warranty that is being discussed here...
What happens when the "third party" goes out of business overnight? Right...

Stay away from nvidia, get an Intel based one.

Thanks . What do you think about durability? Will it live a year? How about the keyboard?

- also, I would like to use my dead R500 as a spare part repository.
Can the display from R500 be used for the T61? shame the memory chips cannot be reused. The R500 is DIMM 3, or whatever, the T61 is dim2

Re: Refurbished T61 what do you think? with warranty 2 years
Keyboards are the same.
If you get a 15.4" unit, the screen from R500 (not the entire lid) will be usable.
With Intel graphics, it should last way more than just a year...
