Lenovo - ThinkPad T61 review

Lenovo buys IBM PC and laptop division left us all thinking about the future integrity of the brand ThinkPad T61 so it is the very significant because it is the first we’ve seen Lenovo ThinkPad without any mark at all IBM .

This is a solid laptop that weighs in at 2.3kg with dimensions of 237mm x 335.5mm x 27.6mm. That’s all you expect from a laptop with a 14.1-inch screen and, as you cast your eye on the T61, you will find it reassuring family. You get a TrackPoint and control, the keyboard is superb, like you’d expect with a ThinkPad, and there are three mouse buttons.

You can select a T61 a huge list of CPU, memory, processor and graphics card with prices ranging from £ 1000 to £ 2000. In general, respondents who have to be cautious of samples that are stuffed to the gills with excellent top components but this time we have rather modest T61 which is priced toward the lower end of the spectrum.

The processor is a 2.00GHz Core 2 Duo T7300 processor, there are 1 GB of DDR2-667 RAM and an Intel chipset is GM965 chipset. Lenovo has improved graphics with Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M chip for supplying to 1440 x 900 pixels WXGA display resolution, but we can not expect much from these graphics. They hope to gambling and only support a VGA output rather than the more convenient DVI connection, but the picture quality is perfectly decent.

The weakest part of this laptop is the screen, which looks absolutely fine when you see it square, but the viewing angle is nothing to write home. The T61 suffers when using the package copy of InterVideo WinDVD 5 to watch a movie as you have to sit very still in front of the screen to avoid seeing the changer, and audio suffers as the speakers are quite poor.

Although it is unimpressed by the display will be business users who are satisfied with the appearance of the poor viewing angle, since it gives a degree of privacy in planes and trains people sitting near you.

Lenovo has charged the ThinkPad T61 with Windows XP Pro, along with a real pile of ThinkVantage utilities that are controlled by the blue ThinkVantage button. These utilities could easily take a test in their own right so we’re going with the distilled version, which is as follows: ThinkVantage is superb and his works out of socks to protect your data files with minimal fuss. Rescue and recovery is a backup utility that allows full or partial backup and restoration, while the active protection system monitors the hard drive and closes on whether a problem is detected or planned.

Another good feature is the hardware fingerprint reader that works in conjunction with a TPM chip and Client Security Software Solution. A change enables and disables the wireless and, when lit, can use the ThinkVantage Access Connections software to control the Intel 802.11a/g/n wireless Bluetooth and independently of each other.

The ports and connections are relatively limited and consist of PC Card and ExpressCard slots, three USB ports, VGA output and a mini Firewire port.

Performance is as good as you’d expect from a laptop Core 2, but battery life is less wonderful and gives the equivalent of three hours of regular use.
