Lenovo Announces Widescreen ThinkPad T60

Filed under: Laptop IBM - Administrator @ 2:10 pm

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

Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet Is Worth a Second Look

Filed under: Laptop IBM - Administrator @ 2:47 am

If you’re someone who thinks Tablets PCs are only for a niche group that you’re not a part of, think again. The latest Tablet from Lenovo is designed with all notebook users in mind, and it just may be the best convertible yet.

Now sporting a faster, 1.8-GHz Core Duo processor among other improved hardware, such as larger hard drives and more memory, the 4.2-pound X60 is also claiming up to nine hours of battery life.


You can get the X60 Tablet with one of two displays: a high-resolution SXGA+ model that automatically rotates depending on how you hold the system, and an outdoor-readable touchscreen that works with your finger or the improved pen (now with an eraser).

For staying connected anywhere, the X60 can be configured with Sprint EV-DO or Cingular HSDPA mobile broadband. It also comes equipped with next-generation 802.11n technology. And staying true to its ThinkPad roots, the X60 allows you to stay comfortable while you compute with the legendary ThinkPad full-sized keyboard and a new NavDial that can be used in Tablet mode.
