[SOLVED] Upgrades for thinkpad x61s

[Jake Joris]

hello, i recently bought lenovo thinkpad x61s.
it has core 2 duo L7500, 2gb ddr2 ram, 160gb hdd. The battery only hold about 10-15minutes. So i already ordered 4gb of ram, but i cannot find x61s slim battery. What should i upgrade?

You could upgrade your storage, but you'd have to transfer ALL the data that is currently on the drive in the laptop, like the windows drivers and OS.

You can use the laptop without the battery, but then the power adapter must be always plugged in.

Thanks for the reply, without the battery laptop cpu throttles down to 800mhz.

weird, that seems to be half of the speed. maybe leave the battery in the laptop when on the charger. Or bring this problem up on the subject CPU on the forum

Thats normal for all lenovo laptops. If you run the laptop without the battery you will need a 90w power adapter.
