Lenovo Lenovo 3000 N200

With lively performance, a fairly light weight, and several popular features, the Lenovo 3000 N200 would be a good business notebook, but its mediocre battery life won't please frequent travelers.

Big screen ; Comfortable mouse buttons

Tinny-sounding stereo speakers ; Slow-working volume buttons

The Lenovo 3000 N200 is no multimedia machine, but it has a nice keyboard and is comfortably designed.

Lenovo ThinkPad T60p

The Lenovo ThinkPad T60p should make quick work of the most demanding business tasks.

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.

Lenovo ThinkPad T60 review

While the venerable Lenovo T60p, a workhorse business laptop that's a common sight in airports and hotel lounges around the world, is currently available in a more contemporary (and consumer-friendly) wide-screen format, the traditional non-wide-screen...

Slick, professional design; bundled ThinkVantage security applications.

Display is not wide screen; upgraded specs can double the price.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T60p, the go-to laptop for button-down business users, makes a largely effortless transition to Windows Vista.

Lenovo ThinkPad T60 Widescreen

The Lenovo ThinkPad T60 Widescreen gives you more screen space without adding a lot of weight.

Widescreen option available. Lightweight chassis. Roomier palm rests than those of the standard T60. Terrific battery life. Numerous network connectivity options.

Could benefit from a FireWire port and memory card reader.

Lenovo ThinkPad T60

With the new Intel Core Duo processor and great battery life, the Lenovo ThinkPad T60 is the best ThinkPad yet. Although it's a high-priced system, it offers enough bang for the buck to merit an Editors' Choice.

Intel Core Duo processor. Better performance. Built-in EV-DO capability. Solid management utility. Three USB ports. Good battery life.

The tested configuration is pricey. Battery is no longer compatible with previous ThinkPads.

Once again, the ThinkPad continues its winning streak of Editors' Choices for business notebooks, this time with the Lenovo ThinkPad T60. It's an expensive system, but the Intel Core Duo processor, built-in EV-DO, and long battery life justify the price.

Review IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T60

There are different reasons to buy a Mercedes. Some of them are i

valuable materials ; intelligent design ; solid hinges ; writer-friendly keyboard ; trackpoint ; ThinkVantage tools ; few heating ; low noise emissions ; good battery runtimes

possible crunching noises ; display with low resolution and stability of the viewing angles ; crunching hard disk ; mediocre interface equipment

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 IBM Thinkpad T60 Widescreen Review

Thinkpads. They are the Hummers of business laptops. Only until recently did the Thinkpad name come from IBM. In 2004 Lenovo, one of China's biggest PC makers, took ownership of IBM's "Think" PC division, including the ThinkCenter and ThinkPad...

Extremely sturdy ; Comfortable keyboard ; ThinkLight ; Quiet fan ; Thin and light ; Great screen

Few USB ports ; Small touchpad

Another surprise was the fact that the T60 comes with BOTH an ExpressCard AND a PCMCIA card slot. Granted I do not think I will ever need to use either slot, it is exciting to know that the laptop has support for both expandability options for laptops...
