    So my job lend me a R61.
    On the bottom it says 7732-CTO
    But this is the funny thing..

    cpu = T7500 2.2ghz
    screen = 1280x800 im not sure if its 14" or 15" lol
    video = GM965/GL960 ????
    drive = 100GB hd
    ==== DVDRW
    ram = 1GB

    no finger print reader

    so how do I know what do I exactly have?
    i searched everywhere for the 7732-CTO model and cant find any with the 2.2ghz cpu or GMA965 video..
    Trying to find some reviews on this machine.

    If you've got it in your hands, what do you need a review for? It sounds like it's a little late to look for reviews of it, lol.

    Because I am trying to find some pics on it lol and more info, and stuff like that.
    Because if I do get to keep it, or something I want to sell it in the long run.
    I preferred a bigger resolution and better video card :)

    My Senior actually lend me the laptop to take home over the weekend, since he's selling it for $400. So I want to see how much I can sell it for online instead

    I can't even find the exact model on IBM Lenovo ThinkPad wiki LOL
    its so weird

    This is tabook

    Since the one you have is a Configured To Order (CTO) model, you won't find it in tabook, but you should be able to find which standard model yours is based on and look that one up.

    Thanks, I just saw that

    What I don't understand is the video says GM965/GL960
    I googled it and it basically mentions something about x3100
    So I dont know what video I exactly have
    I'm not even sure if its 15.4 or 14.1
    Im trying to get all the proper info for it, so I can do a pricecheck

    You need to go to Lenovo's Warranty Lookup
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=LOOK-WARNTY#sw

    From there type the first 4 digits of your machine type ( 8897-CTO) for example and lastly your laptop serial number located at the bottom of the laptop (well, both data is located in the same sticker). When the page Warranty Status, find:
    View parts lookup results for this system

    You will see the laptop parts inventory. There should be the info on the type and size of the R61 screen.
