I upgraded the RAM from 1GB to 2GB.

Good:
- The laptop is lighter, thinner than T30
- It's quiet and cooler, thanks to the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
- Brighter LCD screen, compare to T30
- With Intel's VT, I can run XP in QEMU, which is newly included in F7
- Battery able to run for ~2 hours
Not so good: Even through it's still a solidly built laptop, but I found it slightly filmsy (maybe I am just too picky).
1) The palm rest on the left side (above the PC card slot) is quite thin and I can feel its flex as my hand pressing on it

2) The side of the palm rest has some rough edges, which keep irritate my hand as I type.

3) I found the LCD screen somewhat filmy. There are two pivots on both side of the laptop, but I found the screen bend slightly when my hand holding it in the middle. I guess that's why the latest T61 has screen roll-cage to better protect it.


4) The battery slot is not snug and I can feel it sliding around in the slot when it rest on my lap.

5) The Ultranav looks the same when compared to my old T30, but the buttons for the trackpoint no longer paint on the tip. I found it looks somewhat cheap.

6) It reminds me of those HP laptop managers have at work..... I thought a Thinkpad should be special.
7) The firm keyboard is a bit too firm, and need to take sometimes to get use to.
8) The indicator on the outside of the screen does not fit perfectly, light is leaking out on the side.

Yet to try: fingerprint scanner
