My question is izzit worth it to buy one ?
Does it able to run games like Counter-strike : source or any other high-graphic games?
I heard quite good review from the net , but would like to know more about u guys comment on it. Thanks alots.

Er .. to correct the price is SGD$2020.

Holy. . .! over $2000 on T61!?!? That's overpriced. . .

If you're looking for a gaming computer. . .go with Asus. . .it's affordable. . .look at F8SN series. . .

I suggest F8SN B1. . .with nVIDIA 9500 GS, 2 years warranty, 1 year accidental warranty and a bag. . .for only approx. $1160. . .

By the way. . .don't get Turbocache, it's useless. . .you will not see any difference. . .

You can play games like Counter Strike with integrated cards by the way. . .and any old games (probably all games that's 3 to 4 years old). . .

Get T8100 if you're settling for T8300 because you'll not see/feel any difference. . .

You better have 64-bit OS in order to install and let the laptop read 4GB RAM. . .

I think glossy laptops is better to play games. . .but it's your choice. . .Lenovo laptops are business laptops. . .

I configured a T61 in lenovo.com with the same specs as you mentioned it. . .it's so much cheaper. . .it costs $1000 less. . .it's total cost without the tax and shipping (I believe shipping is free) is $ 979.30. . .or $ 1,140.67 with 3 years onsite warranty. . .

If you really want a Lenovo T61. . .I suggest for you to go configure one in lenovo.com. . .it's so much cheaper! And use this ecoupon too "USP2PAYPAL", it's 10% discount. . .

Edit: since it's in SGD currency. . .then yes it's worth the buy :)

ThinkPads are more expensive. But, if the data on your drive is important to you then they are worth it.

No laptop is going to run high end games. There are some that limp better than others but if you want to do serious gaming then get a desktop with a serious GPU. Desktops are superior to laptops in every aspect of computing. Until you want to pick the thing up and walk.

Not worth 2 grand to me! Small display small ram small HDD Look on!
