Using a ThinkPad X61s in 2020 (wordpress.com)
As a ThinkPad fan I am always interested in getting to experience elder ThinkPads. Especially ThinkPads from the 4:3 display era. After having used a ThinkPad T60p which I reviewed here, I was for a long time interested in getting to experience a Thinkpad X61 or X61s. I really like the old keyboards and the 4:3 display format and the X6… series seemed to be very portable and attractive to me. I am very nostalgic about these machines.
