I have a T60 that, in general, I am quite happy with.
OTOH, . . .
* Sound:
While I have no clue about one- or two- or whatever channels,
I do get sound on the system. At the same time, I know there
are some problems with UniAud that occasionally lock the system
or clip the sound. It's not very often, but since my system
is more of a business system than anything else, it's not
major to me. I was trying each of the new updates when they
came out, but the benefits were not really evident and the
problems were just different rather than eliminated.
* Networking:
I have had zero problems with the wired connection. I do
have some problems with the WiFi stability. The vast
majority of the time it is fine. Occasionally, I see the
WiFi radio LED 'beaconing' [i.e., fast flashing]. This is
a signal that the connection is about to drop. If I catch
it in the act, and just flip the radio off/on switch [the
one just under the left front of the KB], the flashing
stops and the connection is OK. Note: I am no totally sure
this is not a router/AP problem, because sometimes I can
cycle the power on the AP and this will get the signal back
even when the KB switch does not.
Other than this, no problems that I can attribute to HW.
