I currently own a thinkpad x201 and I was thinking of selling it and buying a t60(with the best cpu and display I can find) and upgrading it to the best of its capacities in order to install libreboot on it via the software method.
Should I do this?

Yes.
>>
No.
>>
Maybe.
>>
x61 - yes.

Be advised not only do you have to have an Intel graphics board, but libreboot is super autistic about the brand/model of the LCD panel. I wouldn't bother, personally.

Thank you based /g/ you are an invaluable source of information.
>>61207936
sounds like a real bother. i knew about the graphics chip, which is easy to determine, but didn't know it was picky about lcd panels...

Its not bad if you win the panel lottery and get a compatible one or buy a lot of "for parts" and can cobble one together. But if you read the libreboot documentation there are more unsupported/unknown panels than ones that work.

t60p 15" with uxga... incredible. will probably have to replace fan. can upgrade cpu, or if daring swap in t61 board. i added qxga to one and it is my favorite

>>61209241
it's was fixed in coreboot not to long ago and might even be already pulled in libreboot but those libreboot fags rather change some words on their website a hundred time before they put out updated firmware.
>>
>>61209355
is the qxga one IPS?
>>
>>61209437
uxga is the one you can find in some t60s stock. qxga i think was not stock on t60p and you have to buy aftermarket. both are ips. I think some t43s had qxga stock.. probably hard to come by now

>>61209486
I know, I have a T60p UXGA
Is the core2 duo upgrade worth it?

I'll have to look into coreboot then. Thanks for the tip.

Wait for X210
