Lenovo ThinkPad T60 wide screen, announced recently, is the second in ThinkPad line of business notebooks to feature widescreen display (together with ThinkPad Z-series models). CNET reviewing ThinkPad T series widescreen, gives it 6.2-out-of-10 rating and writes:” A little more than a year ago, Lenovo shocked the laptop world by announcing the first wide-screen ThinkPads. Apparently the new form factor was well received, because the latest iteration of the ThinkPad T60, one of the most popular ThinkPad models, now includes the option of a 15.4-inch wide-screen display. We certainly can’t complain–we like having more real estate for spreadsheets, movies, and other vital business tasks–and the addition of a Core 2 Duo processor, along with the characteristic ThinkPad construction and business-friendly support features, give this new ThinkPad T60 tremendous appeal. But Lenovo’s more consumer-oriented ThinkPad Z61m, which offers the same components and a similar feature set in a slightly thicker and heavier case, nudged ahead of the ThinkPad T60 on some of our performance benchmarks and costs $185 less. Unless you need to save every inch of room and ounce of weight in your laptop bag, we recommend that you save a few bucks and get the ThinkPad Z61m.”- CNET
