Already had to replace the keyboard, and blown fuses for the display on the motherboard (my fault ))– btw, there are schematics for the whole machine online and ebay is full of parts, which is useful. When the present-day high-performance quad-core is packed into the form factor of a modern-day ultrabook, I’m retiring this T60, until then, it’ll continue to be fixed up. Also, modern powerful quad core machines are same weight as the good old T60 or heavier if you include the monster AC adapters. oh, my 2014 processor doesn’t support virtualization extensions…’ Or, the thinnest Thinkpad ever, surely if it’s so small docking is of highest priority, but no, docking port not included.
