I think that it's more the fact that it is a PCI Express machine with SATA drive architecture than anything else (though I understand that there are sound issues with it, as well). More and more of the newer generation of machines will be SATA and will have PCI Express instead of mini-PCI, and this, of course, is someting we need to watch in the market and be prepared to support.
      

The T60 is using a graphics chipset that isn't supported by SNAP. I'd guess
that it would be slower than my old T21. With no sound support, and slow
graphics, it sounds like a poor choice.

But I've got to thank the people who go out an buy these things, and then post
how poorly they worked under eCS. It helps me to make my decision for my future
machines.

Actually, the SNAP support on my T60 systems is one of the brighter
spots.  I did have to install the most current driver to get the
Win-OS2 working.  But, that part of my T60 seems OK.

Granted, I am not interested in high intensity graphics, movies, etc. And, when I asked about the WiFi, PRO/1000, I thought I had received
positive comments about those working.  I did get advice to purchase
the Intel GMA 950 instead of the ATI Mobility chipsets.

I'm still hoping for some miracle on the WiFi and PRO/1000.  I also got
some bad advice on the audio.  Close, but no hand grenades or
horseshoes around to make up the distance... :-(
