Can I install Ubuntu 16.04.1 desktop amd64 on a laptop with Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7100 @ 1.80 GHz and 2 Gb of RAM? I already have Windows 7 and it runs on 32 bit. I want to install Ubuntu along Windows 7 and using pictures, videos and books with both systems. Is it possible?

Of course you can, I have exactly the same laptop (T61) and am running Kubuntu amd64 on it without any issues. All the special thinkpad keys (volume, brightness etc..) work fine too.
However 2GB of ram (same for me) is not much, which means you'd better not open too many applications at the same time. I would advise a decent swap partition too (I've setup mine at 3GB).

2 GB isn't much, but it's enough for Ubuntu :) Windows 7 use more RAM memory than Ubuntu :) I'm now using my older PC with 2 GB RAM (1,8 because 128 MB is VRAM), and it's enough :)
