R60 boards is different than T60 series. And heatsinks is specific to R60, since I had R60 but it took too much restoration so I recycled R60 and kept T60.

Mine is 4:3 T60, T7200 cpu, x1400 as well. Fastest CPU is T7600, 2.33GHz.

Cheers,

Oh. My cane in a very good condition, so for now no need for restoration. And what’s the difference in mobo? I thought r60 and T60 are twins there.

Ps what games you’ve played on your T60?

For a few years (~2010-14 or so?) there were very few new laptops with better screens than a 15" IPS T60, and through the mid 10's there was still much worse out there that cost a lot more.

Well... Maybe... But I'm on R60 and with TN screen. While it's good on bright images, dark scenes are very washed-out because of backlit. Take a look, it's Dell D800 on the left (2003-2004) and ThinkPad R60 on right. Dell does the job much much better. More to say, i was the same story on Toshiba Tecra S3. I think its the issue of 15 4:3 screens...

From what I remember on the Thinkpad.com forums, there are 2-3 LCD vendors for the T/R60 series of machines, the LG-Philips, the Samsung and AOC. Out of the 3 vendors the Samsung ones were considered the worst - washed out colors and poor viewing angles. Not sure which one you ended up with, but yeah, they were designed for high resolution and not necessarily image quality.

Not twins - more like cousins. The 15" machines have different motherboards and are not interchangeable. The 14"....kinda. Someone on thinkpads.com swapped a 14" R60 board onto a T60, and it worked...sorta. It fits, but some of the screw holes on the T60 base doesn't exist on the R60 board, so there were some screwholes that cannot be used.

I think ati radeon x1650 pro will beat out nvidia 6600 as i also used it playing old days games with ease.

Definitely, but we are talking about X1400 since that's the card is placed in R60.

Umm i see, wat is R60?

The laptop we are discussing here: Re: ATI X1400 vs NVIDIA 6600

Got it.

It's also the X1400 Mobility versus the Geforce 6600 Go - laptop GPU generally do not perform identically as their desktop equivalents.

I was not thinking how capable the T60's x1400 I didn't game on notebooks so no experience on these since I had not used it for long time, and it is on the shelf but I'm interested to try that out.

How is your gaming findings on your R60? What games that is good enough for these?

Yes, the T60 is different from R60, much thinner and sexy. T60 comes in three sizes, 14", 15" and widescreen. Both 14" and 15" shares same T60 motherboard but uses a transposer board to connect optical drive since 15" chassis is wider. widescreen motherboard is wider.

R60 uses one piece motherboard that could fit in T60 15" and less mini PCIe slot but screw holes is not where it is due to transposer board for multibay has two screws pillars which R60 motherboard don't have this in the location. R60 heatsinks is unique too, CPU only heatsinks has a one side fins with blocked part on back, but ones that is for CPU and GPU, has both fins for side and rear with extra fins soldered atop the heatpipes so air can get sucked in from mini vents under the hinges into blower fan.

If I bring 14.1" T60 some people thinks it is new but actually not due to thin-ness. 😀

Cheers,

I recall playing some nice-looking 3D games up to 2005-2006 on my T60 with T7200/X1400 on high resolution (1400x1050 or 1680x1050) and good framerate. GTA up to San Andreas, Prince of Persia up to The Two Thrones, Chronicles of Riddick (the original one). Actually, Riddick may have been on a T42 which has an even weaker GPU.

For now i've tried these games, work well 😀
