I purchased a used T60 from Ebay, modded for 1400x1050. A few other mods by the original owner, which I consider a plus.
I also ordered a Seagate 500GB SATA hard drive, a SATA ultrabay, and most importantly an aftermarket 15.0 inch QXGA LCD display panel, 2048x1536. AFAIK, these are the highest resolution laptop displays available, and they match my 4x3 inclinations. I am curious about what they will do with my 1024x768 projector. I may need to run Windoze to rewrite the EDID information (sigh) but after that it should run Linux fine. Some hardware in common with John Jordan's T61. If this works, I will build a second Frankenstein T60 for my wife. If anyone else wants to join in that build, consider purchasing the pieces. It is also possible to swap a T61 system board into the 15.0 inch T60 case, which gets me a Penryn processor and more RAM. Unfortunately, I'm told the T61 case only works with a 15.4 inch screen, and there isn't a QXGA LCD panel in that size. It would be nice if a manufacturer sold what I want new, but at least I can cobble together the laptop I want.
