== Durability and Repair-ability ==
Good plastic quality means that case cracks are less common than on other models but the model by itself is not immune. Removable and the fixed drive bay are easy to access and the case itself is easy to disassemble due to obvious markings on the laptop's underside as well as masking black tape placed on screws. Many generations (series) of laptops, such as the T60/T61 use the same easy to find screws, trackpads and buttons, keyboards, cooling systems are interchangeable while screens, palmrests, bezels are specific to laptops sizes.
The LCD screen's fluorescent backlight is easier to replace since there is plenty of space and a good design on the screen's casing and light dispersion system to accommodate newer and thinner lamps or thicker classic ones. LCD screens can be inter-changed to suit a specific native resolution requirement if the proper original cabling is available. Fans and the fan blades can be easily cleaned and bearings can be easily greased, providing long service life since fan casing stud mountings can be pried open and placed back again.

! Features !! Flaws
|-
| Good contrast and colour gamut (one of the last 4:3 screen laptops) || Very small GPU performance increase compared with Thinkpad T43 models
|-
| Good performance on Core 2 Duo CPU || Mediocre on Core Duo and very low performance on Core Solo CPU
|-
| Durable, comfortable trackpad and buttons, stiff keyboard || No DVI/HDMI output except on docking station 
|-
| Good, somewhat quiet cooling system || Annoying IBM/Lenovo BIOS limitation of approved Wifi cards
