https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T60

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

> 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:

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.
