...I tried new Lenovo T61 with configuration: Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz 1GB RAM nVidia Quadro 140M 100GB 7200RPM disc 14.1" wide screen 1440x900px Webcamera, fingerprint reader Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN 6 cell battery New thinkpad is traditionally whole black. It is very well built as usual. Nothing screapes and the keyboard is nice acurrate.Titan-Magnesium hardeness was improved by hardening back part of chassis.The only thing where is the influence of Lenovo on IBM shown are the connectors for reproductors and microphone. They were placed in front of laptop what is not so handsome. After few hours of initial testing i revealed a small bug - it is impossible to change the backlight intensity for the display. I tried to run a Linux system so i have to write some hints: The graphics card works well with the newest...

Review of Lenovo T61

Undoubtedly the best laptops on the market

Advantages: Built-in 3G (optional); keyboard light; build quality, excellent software
Disadvantages: A little heavy due to build quality; some will find them ugly

...I've owned Lenovo/IBM laptops now for about 5 years - starting with a T20 and moving up through the lines to a T61 type 6464 I work in IT and have done a lot of contract and consulting work which means I get exposure to a broad range of different laptops. My friends who also work in IT also have a variety of different laptops. I can honestly say that I have never been jealous of anyone else's laptop (except for one friend who has the X61 Tablet) in a very very long time - these machines are really great! In this day and age there is very little to distinguish one manufacturer from another for the most part - it used to be a lot easier; a few years ago and you could look at the spec sheets of two laptops and you would immediately know which was the better machine.

Review of Lenovo T61

Lenovo B560 4330

Advantages: Adequate software package for my use, high-speed USB and Card Reader functions are a bonus.
Disadvantages: Not designed with gamers in mind.

...nto a shop one day and pick out what you like the look of. Looks aren't outstanding, but there are worse looking laptops on the market for this pricerange. First impressions are just one consideration that laptop manufacturers have to make, but does this laptop live up to its looks? With an Intel Core i5 480M 2.66GHz Dual Core(2.93GHz) Processor, the Lenovo B560 4330 does offer a great deal for the price. A healthy 500GB Hard Drive backs this up, finished off with 3GB of RAM. All this for me is just a bunch of numbers, which I find are difficult to compare when making a purchasing decision unless you understand what they all mean. Ultimately this means that during my usual days of web browsing and occassional typing work on basic programs such as Word and the use of Excel, the Lenovo B560 4330 can more than tackle such tasks....
