Yeah.  T61 here.  Just bought a second cheap (no battery, honestly missing).

As i said, i've heard Lenovo ThinkPad build quality remained good
through the last model with 2 sets of physical mice switches, but the
latest models less so.

(Problem with the T40/T41 was the screen-back-light and it's voltage
converter were known early-fail components.)
