Lenovo Announces Widescreen ThinkPad T60
Today, Lenovo announced the availability of the ThinkPad T60 Widescreen, the company’s first widescreen T-Series notebook. The T60’s 15.4-inch display is designed to improve the productivity of mobile professionals by offering more onscreen real estate for spreadsheet columns and video presentations.
The notebook fits 30 percent more data onscreen than its 14-inch predecessor, the ThinkPad T60. But the ThinkPad T60 Widescreen notebook features more than just a new display; this 5.1-pound notebook also includes a 2.3 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, an estimated six hours of battery life, up to a 160GB hard drive, a choice of integrated Intel graphics or higher-end ATI graphics, and an optional WSXGA+ display.
Wireless options include integrated 3G WAN (on either Cingular’s or Verizon’s high-speed network), 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Infrared wireless technologies. Lenovo’s ThinkVantage technology helps users easily connect to the Internet as they switch between wired and wireless connections. The notebooks are also available in Vista Capable and Vista Premium Ready models, in preparation for the release of Microsoft’s new operating system.
Those concerned about durability will be happy to learn that the ThinkPad T60 Widescreen features Lenovo’s Active Protection System and a spill-resistant keyboard for protecting the notebook from bumps and spills. For the security-minded, the notebook contains the latest Lenovo security tools, such as the Embedded Security System and an optional fingerprint reader for keeping unauthorized eyes away from confidential data.
Price: Starting at $1,399
