My New Toy Review ofLenovo ThinkPad T61pby

Advantages: Super Fast, Fingerprint Recognition, Bluetooth, Widescreen Disadvantages: Price, No Trackball
...of. It is my Lenovo ThinkPad T61p. I have a regular Dell desktop computer, and up until a week ago, I had a Dell laptop. I did not like my Dell laptop at all! It was slow and lacked the features that I want in a laptop computer. After begging the guys in our IT department, they finally hooked me up with this beautiful piece of machinery!
Now for the good stuff:
-This model has a 15" wide screen display that looks amazing
-It has a 4.0 Ghz Core ... ...-It has 2GB x 2 DDR2 SDRAM
-Its has a DVD/R, DVD/RW, CD/R,CD/RW Superdrive
-It has three USB 2.0, one ExpressCard slot, VGA, headphone / line-out, microphone-in, modem, 1Gb Ethernet
-It has wireless: WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 w/ EDR
-It has Windows Vista Ultimate
So those are the specs. This is one very capable laptop, and the speed always puts a smile on my face. The screen on this model isn't glossy like most of the new laptops. It has a matte ...

Advantages: powerful components, solid, many interfaces Disadvantages: too heavy, missing mini DVI port
Thinkpad t61pDescription
I bought the t61p 3 monthes ago. It is a real power horse. Windows Vista runs very smoothely on this machine. The 1920x1200 screen resolution results in a very fine-grained text display. The t61p comes with a lot of interfaces including firewire, usb, wifi, card reader. The heat development (a problem in previous versions of the T-series) is moderate. Thinkpad t61p Disadvantages
One big disadvantage though ... ...they could build it somewhat thinner and leighter (Lenovo has to learn from Apple here). Another disadvantage seems to me to be the lack of any DVI interface. Why should you be forced to buy the docking station just to use a DVI-only monitor.
Thinkpad t61p Advantages

Advantages Subtle Design, Performance, Display Quality & Graphics Power Disadvantages Design may not suit everyone's taste
...and settings and still able to play the more demanding Supreme Commander.
The resolution is something you either love or hate, set native at 1920x1200 on a 15.4" screen it can either be an eyesore or a god send (thankfully for me it's the latter). Howvever the screens scales really well and you can drop down to the more easier to use wide screen resolutions without any loss of quality.
I specced my laptop up with 4gb memory, a 200GB Sata Drive, DVD RW Writer, Intel Wireless/Bluetooth Add-On, 1GB Intel Turbo Memory and the Intel T7800 2.6Ghz Core 2 Duo cpu which is blisteringly fast at everything I throw at it.
The design as I mentioned is not to everyone's taste but I love it, understated in the black chassis it speaks volumes i.e it's designed to work hard, not just look good sitting on your dining table....
