Decent Printer, Suspect Formatter, Terrible support
My seller was very responsive to an early set-up problem. The printer was very lightly used. This is just as well because the build level borders on flimsy when compared to earlier models on the same design, e.g. the 2100 and 2300.
A number of web forum entries point to a high failure rate for the formatter in this model. Happily, that board is side-mounted with,solderless connectors, so replacement would be easy once you had the part in hand.
This review covers my experience with the single-pass model. The duplexing version should be more desirable, with the caveat that the build level might be marginal when it comes to implementing the more complicated paper handling in duplex.
Copy quality and speed are excellent. It was easy to find and install a memory-maxing card, but this did not reduce first-copy time, or time required to add a large .pdf file to the buffer. These values seem limited by the PC's speed in getting the document into the buffer.
This printer was a value purchase. It would make sense to look at later iterations of this light-weight line, especially if the formatter failure issue was resolved by HP China.
One final and serious caveat: HP was no help in getting me to a screen that presents the 1200 dpi. option or the toner density adjustment. Both are advertised features. I would rate HP support on this as poor to the point of arrogance. Forums were dead ends, gratis the HP participants. More than merely noting that it is a discontinued model,the HP network seemed to treat the P2015 as a disowned child.

great condition as delivered
Not for critical listening, but excellent for background and indirect listening. I found it helpful to dampen bass volume by small amount of acoustic wool place in the ported duct.

Blazing Performance but a serious loss of important features
0 of 1 found this helpful I bought this computer to replace a Thinkpad A31 for the purpose of migrating up to Win 7. Both machines are desktop replacements, and, according to a Wikipedia article, both are on the International Space Station in great number. The A31 ATI 7500 graphics card does not meet specs for Win 7, and hence is prematurely disqualified by the end of XP support.
The Te61 is a Lenovo-produced variant of the earlier large IBM machines. Leaving aside the cage mounting of the screen, it is a step down in apparent ruggedness. The main loss in features, is the absence of a two-bay system for drives and batteries. It also eliminates parallel printer port, substituting extra USB ports, a firewire port, and an SD card reader. You also lose external access to the hard drive bay, which I have found invaluable.
Curiously, all ports and connectors, save the fireware and one USB, are now on the sides of the computer, making for a nest of wires at each hand. The back is devoid of any connectors other than the power jack. The only way to restore the typical rear-facing arrangement is to buy the full-featured dock replicator. This gives you an extra USB port, and, significantly, a parallel port. This design seems like a compensating afterthought, but it is welcome. I cannot imagine why the design team thought a clean backside was anything but a step backwards.
Keyboard and screen are excellent, but the color balance seems slightly biased toward magenta. The trackpoint behaves well, but the thumbpad pointer was hard to adopt, especially with the aspect ratio favoring horizontal movement.
Performance on my machine,which maxes CPU speed and RAM, is excellent. This is only a subjective comparison with XP on the A31, and has no broader significance.
In my opinion, the features dropped in going from the A31 design to the T61p outweigh the features gained by a substantial margin. The improvement is basic performance is impressive and useful, but I would stay with the A31 chassis design and build level if I could run Win 7 on it.
