Yes...in the sense of the fact that they are both core 2 duo and have the same sort of design with the construction and look. But if you examine with a little more detail, there are some major and minor differences. One, the R400 and the rest of the xx00 generation had no model with a 4:3 display option. Two, the right side of the R400 has a bevel, completely ruining the perfect brick look that I like about the 61 generation so much. Three, that is the generation when they started to kill off the battery terminals on the Ultrabays like in the X200 Ultrabase when the X6 Ultrabase had battery terminals. I can't support that because that just shows that Lenovo was cheaping out. Not to mention the switch to SATA for the Ultrabays which although is better than IDE PATA, completely makes the older accessories unusable on that generation. But don't get off put by my little rant there the R400 is probably a great machine and if you like it, its all good, just not for me.

i would buy a thinkpad but the modern ones are honestly garbage. Im somehow running into the problem where i'm willing to dump 2000+ dollars into a laptop but none of them checks all of my boxes.

@@Marauder-q2v I have to agree with you on that one. Although the t14 g5 is a lot more repairable which is good, it still has, imo, many flaws, especially in the trackpoint and department. Although I have never tried the t14 g5, I have a t14 g3 and that has a very similar trackpoint arrangment to it so I would assume that they are going to be basically the same. But anyways, I don’t like the modern lower profile trackpoint style because I feel like it drifts a lot more than the higher profile ones and they also feel much more stiff when compared to the older ones. Not to mention the switch from trackpoint buttons that hinge and have height differences between the middle button and side buttons to buttons that only go up and down, like a keyboard switich, and lie flat also is very inconvenient as I find myself accidentally pressing both the scroll button and the left click when I am trying to click something. So because of that, and many other things that I find frustrating like the strange home end insert delete layout on the top of the keyboard and the fact that they reduced the size of the arrow keys from the t14 g2 to the g3, modern thinkpads really just don’t serve as a worthy successor to the classic ones. Though what are your reasons for disliking modern thinkpads?

Well that is if you count the branding on some of the older t,r,x,and z 61s(even though the z61 is more like a t60) and the fact that they were still going by the IBM way of model numbers(as in the overall model letter, followed by the generation number, and then the revision number). Though at this time(2007) lenovo had already purchased the Thinkpad line from IBM two years prior. Meaning that this is a Lenovo Thinkpad But actually now that I think about it, Lenovo basically got all the engineers too so technically this is IBM…though if you go by that logic, even modern thinkpads can be counted as IBM.

When I only saw the first part of your comment I thought that you were going to talk about the option of flexview IPS displays on the T60 or the fact that there was a 15 inch 4:3 option available for the T60 or even the fact that the the GPUs in the 60 generation didn't have problems like 61 did. But you know some of the early made _61 also had IBM branding right? By the way, the _60 can use core 2 duos, just not the Penryn generation. Also you forgot one of the main reasons why the _61 is better: the limit of 8GB of ram when compared to 3GB on the _60.
