Review Lenovo / IBM Thinkpad T60p UXGA Notebook

Evergreen. Whoever thinks that the launch of the Lenovo Thinkpad ...

High-quality materials (magnesium); Reasonable, elegant design; Robust metal hinges; User-friendly, clearly layout keyboard; User-friendly track point; Concise UXGA display with impressing stability to the vantage point; Very good application and 3D...

Smaller weaknesses regarding pressure resistance of the case; Moderate interface equipment; Partly high surface temperature under load

It's a pity that the FlexView panels slowly disappear from the Thinkpad series and are replaced by the new wide-screen panels, whose stability to the vantage point partly do not meet our expectations

Lenovo ThinkPad T60p

Straight from the ultra-utilitarian “business computing” masters at Lenovo comes the ThinkPad T60p. The T60p is a full-sized, full-powered mobile workstation designed for serious computing on the go. In Lenovo's own words, this laptop is geared for...

Fast processor; Vista capable; good battery life; biometric security

A little heavy; thick LCD bezel; 802.11n is not standard; no FireWire

The T60p is a very complete package and it is very reliable.

Lenovo Thinkpad T60p

Many large and medium-size businesses purchase laptops once every four or five years. The migration cycle to a new operating system takes even longer because of compatibility issues and the cost of upgrading. Thankfully, this doesn't apply to all...

Workstation graphics. 4GB of RAM. Fastest Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Vista Business experience

Very pricey if you choose this configuration. No FireWire port. No memory card readers

The ThinkPad T60p has the kind of unassuming design tailor-made for business and workstation laptops. Its performance will make quick work of the most demanding business tasks.

LENOVO T60p CORE DUO 2.16GHZ 1GB 100GB XP PRO COMBO

Lenovo ThinkPad T60 is the perfect notebook and is the obvious choice of most business professionals. Lenovo ThinkPad T60 is a thin and light notebook and proves to be the most ideal for traveling businesspersons and professionals.

4GB RAM capacity ; Super fast processor ; Appreciable battery life ; Biometric security

No FireWire ports ; Slightly heavier ; Bluetooth not standard ; Short warranty period

The overall performance of Lenovo ThinkPad T60 is excellent. All applications like Excel, Word, Internet Explorer, Picasa, and others take just two seconds to open. However with 4GB RAM, these open instantly while other programs like Flash Professional...

Lenovo ThinkPad T60p

I've had my T60p for about three months now and love it. Very well built, something that most laptops seem to be lacking, these days.

Lenovo ThinkPad T60p

I have had 3 or 4 ThinkPads (and used many other laptops) and I just received a new 15.4″ widescreen T60 with C2Duo 2.33GHz, 7200spin 100GB drive, 2GB ram and it is a very nice upgrade from my T42 1.6GHz Banias… Quality is stellar as always. Remember...
