Very cool video. I've got an x60s. Love the machine. It's a great little 9x gaming machine. Also just purchased a 570. It's on it's way but hoping it'll make a good DOS machine for older games.
You have a cool collection! Sadly, my thinkpad has turned into a desktop. It's Power IC is shorted and it only works when plugged in :(. Anyways great video!
Love the machine, just did a battery test on mine. I managed to get 1hour 15 minutes on my battery while at full brightness and playing Old School Runescape. The t5600 runs quite hot though even after a thermal repaste. My specs are; t5600 64bit CPU, 3gb DDR2 and a 128gb ssd running PopOS. Of course I librebooted it.
Thank you for your kind comment. I definitively want to make more content in the future. At the moment I am unfortunately very busy. Hopefully 2022 will give me more time for this channel :)
I have a rare Aopen i975X-YDG desktop motherboard. I also happen to have 16GB of ddr2 and a T7200 from an old notebook. Wondering how far this chip will crank on this desktop board? Love the channel!
Just wondering, but on my Pentium M PC, Jamboard says WebGL error. Does a core 2 duo version of this support a newer OpenGL or WebGL versions for those databases(Does Jamboard work)? I need to use Jamboard for school, and my Pentium M is finally starting to show it's age on Elive OS. And just another question, is the X220 too small with the 16:9 aspect ratio? It's quite a bit more modern, but it has that trade-off. I love my ancient 4:3 gateway, but if it isn't very cramped I'm willing to switch to 16:9...maybe.
The ThinkPad X60 has an Intel GMA950 which supports OpenGL 1.4 on Windows according to wikipedia.org. I also love the 4:3 aspect ratio, however I think if you want to use some more modern web applications (I don't know Jamboard) a newer ThinkPad like the X220 would be the safer bet.
Great video, I also have two x60 and they are great. Like you max out the ram and add ssd. Lightweight, on the move usage. Also the single core is 32bit whereas 64bit os for duel core. I run windows 8.1 32bit on t1300 and it's as smooth as silk especially using Opera web browser
Hello Sir, I have opportunity to buy a Thinkpad T60 for £10, the screen wobbles when the computer moves, how can I fix this? Also it's missing two track pad click buttons. Do you I think I should buy it? Thank you for your time.
Hey, if you have fun tinkering and want to replace the missing buttons as well as find a solution to the wobbling display problem (unfortunately I do not know a universal solution to that) the price is alright. It's a cool little retro machine :).
Is the T7200 running hot? I have a very similar laptop, an HP Compaq N6400, that I put a Core 2 Duo T7200 in, and it's running a bit hot, and I was wondering if your upgraded ThinkPad has a similar situation.
Thank you for your comment. The T7200 is definitely on the hotter site. In direct comparison, the X60 with the weaker processor (T1300) gets much less hot than the T7200.
@@classicdome9347 The T7200 can run 0.125v lower than the T7400 or even the T7600, if I remember. With some tweaks, it should be possible to run it much cooler.
No :D. I would prefer the x61 if I actually would want to use it, but I do not have one in my collection. This video just compares the weakest X60 with the strongest option, since I have both.
Thank you for the feedback. I will try my best to show more in-game benchmarks and Cinebench in future videos. However, I used Cinebench R15 already in another video, and it took ages to complete with a core2duo :D.
@@classicdome9347 Dude, you can to do you channel better. For it you can to create a comparative tests of "ancient" processors of notebooks. For example how it do right you can see in channels "Benchmark" and "Testing games". For some reason, only desktop processors and only new generation are tested in this channels. Therefore, I feel that there are not enough tests of mobile processors too.
Both X60 tested are standard (non s) variants. The X60s has a thinner body and a weaker cooling system, but also a very slow processor that does not produce that much heat as the t7200. If you compare the both X60 shown in this video, the T7200 actually gets hotter and is louder for that reason. On the other hand you can't do anything demanding with the T1300 :D.
Dumb conclusion, that XP would load faster on a cpu that has 1.6Ghz, rather than 2Ghz but one less core. Fingerprint module did nothing wrong, was shaded for no reason.
I did run Windows 10 on the T1300 once. It was possible (but a little slow). Sadly the most recent Windows 10 version keeps throwing out errors during the OOBE setup anyway :(.
@@portugalrealhistory8767 I am happy to hear that. You are absolutely right. The 64bit capable variants (including my T7200 X60) will run Windows 10 just fine. The 32 bit variant with its T1300 throws OOBE errors. So there was no comparisson possible between the two configurations. I also accidently wrote "T7200" in the first answer which I now corrected to "T1300". Sorry for the confusion! I should have stated that more clearly in the video :).

Что за операционка в конце? что за Линукс?
i have lenovo 3000 g4000 with intel pentium t2080 can i upgrade the cpu too intel pentium t7200?
I'm sorry but I don't know. Documentation regarding upgrades isn't that great for this laptop.
FYI Debian still releases a 32-bit version, so that is an option.
Any reason not to get X61 4:3 instead?
No :D. I would prefer the x61 if I actually would want to use it, but I do not have one in my collection. This video just compares the weakest X60 with the strongest option, since I have both.
please test Core 2 Duo T7200 vs Core Duo T2500
and use benchmarks some as Cinebench and built into games

t7200 reporting.
linux mint 19.x cinnamon
T7200 still usable for web browsing in 2024.
Woher hast du das deutsche Recovery ?
Leider habe ich keine deutsche Recovery, ist normales Windows.
How about the fan noise level of X60s if playing games or opening many webs?

Even today the difference between lowly i5 and i7 is not noticeable on normal usage
cpu is soldered and cannot upgrade
i have the x61t and cpu L7500 is weak - nevertheless a T cpu at 35w runs very hot
Dumb conclusion, that XP would load faster on a cpu that has 1.6Ghz, rather than 2Ghz but one less core. Fingerprint module did nothing wrong, was shaded for no reason.
4:3 was always so much better than 16:9 I wish we never moved off it
You should update to windows 10 pro
