    See the specs there. SATA-SSD is no problem.
    Core 2 Duo is also possible.

    I'm not sure if it is possible to upgrade that model's panel to IPS but
    you should be able to upgrade that to an SSD, though you're only limited
    to SATA1 speeds I believe.

    For the CPU, I'm not sure if you can still find any of these ones that
    came with the T60:

    Intel Core Duo processor T7200 (2GHz), T7400 (2.16GHz)
    4 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz front-side bus

    Intel Core Duo processor T5500 (1.66GHz), T5600 (1.83GHz)
    2 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz front-side bus

    Intel Core Duo processor T2300 (1.66GHz), T2400 (1.83GHz), T2500 (2GHz), or T2600 (2.16GHz)
    2 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz front-side bus

    Intel Core Solo processor T1300 (1.66GHz)
    2 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz front-side bus

    Good luck, let me know if you managed to upgrade your T60!

    There's a kit currently in development for upgrading the T60 with
    modern hardware, which includes replacing the screen with a modern
    OLED one:

    and Hdd with ssd 480gb, and cpu with? I don't know!

    The SSD is easy. As already mentioned, the 64bit Core 2 Duo CPUs
    work in the original motherboard. Or via the replacement
    motherboard in that kit you can have an Intel i7-1165G7 CPU. The
    latter wouldn't be any cheaper than buying a new laptop though.
