    After looking at many pictures, it seems as if the color of the Thinkpad T60 is greyish, not black. It is not the same color as the Thinkpads made by IBM. Is this true? I think the grey looks a lot worse. What do you guys think?

    if you look at abaxter's review, the pictures in there look very grey.

    the t60 is the exact same color as the t43, which is the same as the t42, t41, etc etc. I had them sitting next to each other on my desk.

    i think the picture looks grey because thinkpad's casing have little metallic sparkles...which reflect light

    how can you judge something based on a photographs? There are so many factors that may render a photo with inaccurate colors. The best is just go find a PC store and look at it for yourself.
