I'm thinking of purchasing a new laptop. But i wanted to know if it would be worth it. I currently have an IBM Thinkpad T60, 250gig HDD, 3Gigs of ram, it has an X1400 128mg video card, with an Intel Duo 1.66. I have been looking at these two

What are you doing with the laptop? Do you need the extra CPU power RAM and HDD space?
 
I like the 2nd one better discrete graphics 400%/600% more powerful than the other and the one you have and DX11 the others are DX9 and DX10. Plus larger HDD is worth $100 unless you only do office type stuff and no 3D of any kind.

Be aware you would be going from one of the best built top end notebooks to a low end build quality. The T60 is business class the Toshiba's consumer class. You have had that T60 for a long time. Good chance Toshiba will not last that long with out case issues.

The performance of the new should be substantial. How much depends on what you do. I am going to guess your current peak RAM bandwidth 3300MB/s the new will likely be 3x that.
