Quick note->
I passed my T61p down to my Father and ordered a refurb T530 from Lenovo Outlet.
Arrived in 3 days in perfect condition. i5 3320M, 1920x1080 screen, 4GB ram, 500GB hdd. The supplied Toshiba hdd seemed much slower than the Seagate 500GB I had in the T61p. It had to go. But wanted the space I was used to. My decision->
Added a Plextor m5m mSATA 256GB and replaced the ram with 2x8GB Corsair sticks. Ordered from eBay the daughter card for Bluetooth.
Seems like a new, completely different machine. Faster, smoother and NO LAG.
I'm happy now. The Plextor seems on par with my Sandisk Extreme in my desktop, and I still have the 500GB platter drive for storage.
Input anyone? Would you have just replaced the platter hdd with a ssd?
Thanks.
