    Hey, I've got a 14.1 T60 and it's very dusty in my room. I have a feeling the heatsinks are nice and fuzzy. What's the best way to clean it out in there? Thanks.

    If you have a vacuum with a hose try to suck the fuzz out but don't put the hose to close to the laptop as it may be a static hazzard, maybe an inch or two away is good. The other option is to disassemble the thinkpad and clean it with compressed air can for such purposes you can find this at Staples and the like.Good LUCK!!

    I have a furry thing for dusting the outside, it's goat fur or something. Anyway, I saw some stuff about taking the bottom off, and I think I'll get some compressed air since I don't have a vacuum handy.
