- IBM Lenovo Thinkpad T60 $549.99 [Exp: 4/25] 

使用T60p两年有感

标  题: 使用T60p两年有感
发信站: 水木社区 (Mon Dec 29 08:15:14 2008), 站内

    最近版上讨论thinkpad的帖子很多，也来凑个热闹。
    06年一位朋友帮忙从美国买了个台T60P（那个时候已经是lenovo的，虽然在右手掌托有"IBM thinkpad"的logo），使用已有两年的时间了，作为一名thinkpad的普通用户，也想
在这里谈下感受。
    之所以选择thinkpad，完全是因为它在水木上面以及在校园里的人气，版上讨论得热火朝天，在图书馆、六教也是随处可见小黑身影。。。在美国买比这边代理的价低、在感恩节促销的时候订的，又便宜了不少。因为要绘图同时也会玩下游戏，就选了15.1'屏T60P（主要是冲着它的IPS屏和ATI V5250显卡去的），总计大概14K RMB。
    言归正传，使用两年，总的感觉还不错，优点比较突出：显示视角大、键盘舒服，速度和可靠性好（开始买的时候是1G内存，用了一段时间后另加了一条2G的），还有就是好维护。
   显示视角这是得益于IPS屏，那好像是最后一批了。
   键盘的舒适性这个是大家有目共睹的，不在此多说了。
   因为工作需要，装的东西很多，除了防病毒软件是正版，其余均为盗版或免费软件。购机的系统是English home Edition的XP，拿到手后就格盘、删隐藏分区装了上海政府大客户版（从校内ftp下载的，如今已更新到SP3了）。装的软件很多很杂：Visual Studio，3D绘图软件，力学分析软件、CFD软件，office，photoshop，日常用的工具，游戏（cs，warcraft，NFS）以及thinkpad自带的软件（Configuration utility, Hotkey, powermanager, Hotkey, power manager,APS, EasyEject, Keyboard Customizer,systemupdate, Access Connections, Productivity, Help Center,Message Center,ClientSecurity Solution, Rescue and Recovery）。有于装的东西多，启动后啥都不干，任务管理器里面的进程就有九十多个。虽然如此，启动也不是太慢（包括输入指纹，按开机键到进入系统打开IE大概80s），运行一直稳定，印象里没有在运行时突然蓝屏，出现的死机也是屈指可数的。日常使用（浏览网页+听歌+迅雷下载+文本编辑）的温度在63℃左右（显卡GPU的温度，CPU、HD、XC的温度在40℃左右）；使用3D软件处理大型装配体，风扇转速会到4K，GPU温度会上75℃，在这种状况下运行一整天，没出现过任何问题。9cell的电池，一直装在机器上，但很少用，目前看2小时的电影（avi格式）绰绰有余。在可靠性上，thinkpad还是很赞的。
    软件方面，thinkpad自带的软件非常丰富，装上了system update后、下驱动、更新省事；用Rescue and Recovery做备份、恢复系统也很简便，两年来，恢复过几次C盘，都没出啥差错；硬件方面，根据Hardware Maintenance Manual这个文档拆机、升级很容易（虽然是英文的，看图也能明白是咋回事），我就是在它的指导下，加内存、卸硬盘、给风扇上油，做内部的卫生。。。以一个非IT、电子行业人的眼光来看，拆thinkpad是件非常简单的事，你所需要的只是一把好的改锥。
以上的优点，除了屏幕外，其它都在thinkpad后续机型中得到延续。
   使用过程中碰到的不足主要有俩：刚拿回来，右手掌托那里按下去吱吱响声，我把掌托拆下来，在指纹识别的旁边垫了块毛毡，这个问题解决了（应该是出模的间隙留得大同时又缺少支撑造成的），不知道有没有人碰到相同的问题；另一个就是让人头疼的风扇问题，用 了一年不到就有拖拉机的声音，为此我将风扇拆下拆开先滴润滑油进中心轴孔，然后涂了点润滑脂算是暂时解决问题了，以后再不行可能得继续加油或换风扇。。。
我不是个爱折腾的人，对我而言，笔记本电脑只是个工具，工具的可靠性和易用性是很重要的，它基本上符合这个要求了，下一个笔记本电脑应该还是它了（如果还有thinkpad的话）。
   今年年初托一同学带了个15.4'的T61p给我弟，屏幕的亮度大但视角明显小了，塑料感很强（虽然T60p也是塑料，但要细腻得多，14.1寸的T61p给人的感觉要好点，不知道现在的W系列做工如何），把掌托和键盘卸下过，里面的布局还可以。这台的配置比我的好，CPU、显卡、硬盘都升级了，价格只要9K多一点，一方面是科技的进步（和汇率变化），另一方面应该是源于Lenovo目前的策略了。
我周围有不少有笔记本电脑的，从这不多的样本来看，thinkpad还是对得起它的用户的。

字码得很多，呼唤大牛出个摘要呵。。。。。

T60风扇清理加油过程

最近风扇总响，忍耐良久决定自己动手。
网上查了拆机教程
根据网友建议买了702手表油，钟表市场很容易找到，5元
硅胶5元，看着一小桶，里面原来只有一点

动手之后发现拆起来很容易啊
只是教程里面有个螺钉标错了，左上角的边框螺钉应该橡胶座脚里面那个

拆开后看到我的小黑其实挺干净的，没有多少灰，用了一年半，深圳还是比较干净一些
现在都弄好了，只是有两个疑问:
一个是有网友说油不能上多，所以我就只是用缝衣针裹着线沾了油抹了几遍，而没有往里滴，油会不会少了？
另一个是第一次用硅胶，从上面沾着抹的，发现有表面有一层清清的油一样的东西，不知道是什么，会不会影响效果？

现在风扇不吵了，用everest检测cpu大概在60度左右，印象里以前好像可以在60度以下，不过现在也算正常。

T60键盘开机后不响应问题

第一步：打开keyboard Customizer程序（首先要安装keyboard Customizer程序，必须要装！因为即使你不安装键盘驱动，失灵问题也会发生，所以还是装上！），进入keyboardCustomizer 主界面后，点击keyboard   Customizer主界面左下角的options按钮。

第二步：进入options选项菜单后，大家可以看到，"automatically   disable externalkeyboard assignments  when a  USB keyboard  is  removed "这一项是默认选中的，大意就是"当USB键盘移除时自动禁用外部键盘分配"，这就是T60安装键盘驱动后继续导致键盘失灵的罪魁祸首。

第三步：找到了病根，那就把它pass掉， 去掉它复选框里的对勾，点击“OK”，退出options选项。再退出keyboard Customizer程序.

Centrino-Napa platform (2006)

The code-name Napa designates the third-generation Centrino platform, introduced in January 2006 at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show. The platform initially supported Intel Core Duo processors but the newer Core 2 Duo processors were launched and supported in this platform from July 27, 2006 onwards.
The Napa platform consists of:
Processors - Socket M / Micro-FCBGA
an Intel Core Solo, Core Duo (code-named Yonah) processor, or
an Intel Core 2 Duo (code-named Merom) processor with a 667 MT/s FSB for Napa Refresh platform, or
an Intel Core 2 Solo (code-named Merom) processor with 553 MT/s FSB for Napa Refresh platform (Sept 2007), and
an Intel Mobile 945 Express series chipset (code-named Calistoga with Intel's GMA 950), including ICH7M southbridge, and
RAM supported for DDR2-533 and DDR2-667 SO-DIMM.
the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG mini-PCIe Wi-Fi adapter (code-named Golan), and
Some newer models (as of 1st quarter 2007) of the Napa Refresh platform contain the newer 4965AGN (a/b/g/draft-n) wireless cards.
Intel uses Centrino Duo branding for laptops with dual-core ("Core Duo") and ("Core 2 Duo") processors and retains the Centrino name for laptops with single core ("Core Solo") processors. Some of the initial Core Duo laptops, are still labeled as Intel Centrino rather than Centrino Duo.
