    What kind of general media? X61 is still pretty capable at browsing and video if you have the right dependencies/drivers/etc. installed and you stick to lighter software methods.

      Pretty much just Youtube + streaming and some mails. I’ve already got a T14s from work for anything remotely heavy.

        It may or may not. You may be limited to 480/720p. These stopped being worth it IMO since the community lauded it so much that used prices are practically at the point of a good-condition T480s on many used marketplaces. It’s also hard to find working batteries and parts for it now.

        It really depends. For me, media is pretty much internet radio, for which i use pyradio. I don’t really watch YouTube anymore, and when I really need to, I’ll just use my tablet.

        Other than that, web surfing is okay, mail and office work really good.
