Based on my experiences with my workplace-provided T60p, it's safe to
say I'll never recommend a Lenovo product. The temperatures of these
laptops are absolutely insane, supported by an incredibly loud fan. I'm
not interested in a product that can have a GPU reaching temperatures of
almost 70C **while idling**.

Interesting, I've had almost the opposite experience. I have the T61p with
the NVIDIA Quadro card. If I run a game, the video card becomes almost too
hot to have on my lap rather quickly (I just put it on a magazine or
something and it's fine), but if it's idle the temperature is totally
comfortable on my lap. It also takes only about 5 minutes to cool off. The
fan is almost silent. Perhaps they fixed the issues you describe with the
revision?
