jinp6301 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hello, my old laptop broke so I will be buying a new one and I thought it would be pretty cool to be able to run my Adobe programs in OSX for better compatibility between systems in my workplace. I've read up on what works and what doesn't on the T400 so I tried to configure the laptop for maximum hardware compatibility. Here are the specs I chose to try to get everything working on OSX 2764CTO ThinkPad T400 - 1 Yr Depot Warranty 10/13/2009** Intel Core 2 Duo processor P8700 (2.53GHz 1066MHz 3MBL2)1 Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic12 14.1 WXGA TFT, w/ CCFL Backlight ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 with 256MB 4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM)8 UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad) 250 GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm4 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo 24X/24X/24X/8X Max, Ultrabay Slim (Serial ATA)5 No Bluetooth Intel WiFi Link 5100 (AGN) with My WiFi Technology10 Integrated Mobile Broadband upgradable 9 cell Li-Ion Battery60 2764: 1 Year Depot Warranty - TopSeller7 If anyone sees any problems or has any suggestions, please tell me!

jinp6301 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 bah so it seems that the wireless wont work even with the intel wifi or the thinkpad wifi cards. I guess I'll have to look for an USB wifi dongle Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188529-please-check-out-my-laptop-configuration/#findComment-1278508 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinp6301 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 It seems that it is switchable between the integrated (which is supported) and the discrete (which is technically supported but has been causing some people problems) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188529-please-check-out-my-laptop-configuration/#findComment-1278512 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinp6301 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 You're right. I wonder how the other people with T400s got their laptops to work with OSX Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188529-please-check-out-my-laptop-configuration/#findComment-1279500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
