Lenovo ThinkPad Z61t Notebook

Many people think that the Thinkpads are a solid line of notebooks, but not a particularly exciting one. It's true, on the surface they are all work and no play and we know they are extremely popular with business users, but that does not mean they...

refurbished laptop

I saw that this laptop had all of the system requirements that I needed. I now use it to connect to the internet at home and work on many church projects. I also use it for personal use.

bad design

Pro: the burning air from the laptop is good for warming hands in cold winter. Con:dark screen Since I bought this laptop, I swear I will never buy any product of Dell. There is no manual in the shipping box. There is no built-in microphone on my D410.

Lenovo ThinkPad Z61t

Titanium cover, Display, Fingerprint scanner, Solid performance

Not ideal for gaming

If you don't want to play lots of games and need a solid notebook for office tasks, the Z61t should fit the bill quite nicely.

Review: Lenovo ThinkPad Z61t

Not just a simple upgrade to the Centrino Core platform, the ThinkPad Z61t now comes with Webcam and high-resolution screen options.

Durable design; good performance and battery life; widescreen display; strong security features

Expensive; lacks ExpressCard slot

If your pockets are deep enough, the ThinkPad Z61t is a no-brainer if you are looking for a widescreen notebook that can shrug off everyday knocks and bumps.
