Advantages: Durability, performance, handsome looks. Disadvantages: A little expensive, but definitely worth it.
of the keyboard. It makes working without a mouse a lot easier and faster, specifically it keeps both of your hands on the keyboard so you can type and navigate without moving your hands. The looks won't embarrass you when you pull it out in a big meeting, either. Nobody wants to stare at a glowing apple sitting across from you. :) Apart from that, the keyboard is great and I normally get around 4 hours with the 6 cell battery.
The only disadvantage so far has been that it is a little pricier than other laptops. On the other hand, I don'tthink I'll ever get anything other than a ThinkPad. ...
Advantages: easy to use, long battery life Disadvantages: no mouse touchpad, slow due to security software
The best thing about this laptop is its battery life. Regardless of what the spec says (as battery life is often different from that written on a spec, as most people use more than the minimum amount of battery whilst running their laptop), I find that the battery in my laptop lasts a good three and a half hours from being 100% charged. For a laptop, I find this fantastic.
I paid just under £500 when I bought it in October 2006 from dabs.com.
The main thing that I found a disadvantage when I originally bought the laptop is the lack of a touchpad cursor- this struck me as odd and I hadn't realised this was the case when I ordered the laptop. However, there is an easy-to-use nipple in the middle of the keyboard, and you can otherwise buy a USB mouse to connect to the laptop, which are freely available.
So far, I have ...
Advantages: many unique features, robust, trustworthy Disadvantages: more expensive than some brands
I bought this laptop on insurance, as my previous ThinkPad was stolen and I loved it so much that I couldn't bear to buy a different brand.
In my opinion, the LenovoThinkPad is the best laptop you could possibly buy for all-round performance, reliability, and features, but I will endeavour to make this review as unbiased as possible, and I will split it into different sections for easy reading.
LOOKS/DESIGN
We all know looks do matter, and the ThinkPad is nothing if not distinctive in design.
Unusually amongst modern laptops, the ThinkPad does not have sleek silver curves everywhere. Instead, it is a matt black cuboid, with a nice texture. Some people may not prefer this, as I have been told "It looks like it's from the 80s", but the understatedness of the design is much less showy than most modern laptops, suggesting there is ...
