[ltp] New ThinkPad

[Paul Seelig]

That's almost exactly what i already started to go for, although a QXGA
display would be a bit too much screen resolution goodness and is thus
out of question. 15"UXGA should be fine, though. :)

Already got the T60 15" casing and also aquired a full working donor T61
with a T8100 Penryn. 4GB of RAM will have to do for now, and Wifi-n is
of absolutely minor importance as well. The hardest part will be to find
a good and affordable BOE-Hydis Flexview UXGA display.

Others already did it, as has been extensively documented by them here:

This is where i got the main inspirations from.
