Notebookreview.Com - Lenovo Thinkpad T61 Review Page 1 of 14 NotebookReview.com - Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review Page 1 of 14 Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review The ThinkPad T61 14.1" widescreen notebook was recently released by Lenovo as an update to the T60 series. The T61 uses the new Intel Centrino Duo platform (Santa Rosa) and offers a number of design updates. ThinkPad T61 14.1" widescreen notebook (view large image) Important to note is that this review covers the 14.1" widescreen version of the T61 series. As with any laptop model series, there are going to be widely varying configurations you can choose that will greatly affect system performance. For this review, we're dealing with a T61 with the following specifications: Specs Processor: Intel T7300 Core 2 Duo (2.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, 4MB Cache) Graphics: Intel GMA X3100 Operating System: Windows Vista Business Display: WXGA+ 1440 x 900 (LG screen) Hard Drive: 100GB 7200RPM (Seagate Momentus 7200.1) Memory: 2GB (1GB x 1GB), up to 4GB max Ports: 3 USB 2.0, 1 FireWire, Monitor out, modem, Ethernet, headphone out, microphone in Slots: 1 PC Card Slot, 1 ExpressCard slot (optional media card reader and Smart Card reader) Optical Drive: Ultra-slim Super-Multi Drive Dimensions: 13.2" x 9.3" x 1.09 - 1.26" (335mm x 237mm x 27.6 - 31.9mm) Weight: 5.1lbs Design and Build http://www.notebookreview.com/printArticle.asp?newsID=3708 6/7/2012 NotebookReview.com - Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review Page 2 of 14 The ThinkPad T61 is a premium product with a durable build, it is geared towards business users or simply those willing to pay a bit more to get something that won't fall apart after 1-year of use. For somebody that travels a lot or relies on their notebook to earn a livelihood, the build and reliability factor is probably more important than having the latest and greatest components inside. (view large image) So how does the T61 excel build-wise? Basically the same as its predecessor T-series notebooks did. The T61 body is a rugged plastic that does not flex. Inside the stiff and thick plastic casing is a magnesium roll cage in both the lid and main chassis. The lid on the previous T60 was a magnesium material, while the lid on the T61 is a plastic composite with a magnesium "roll cage" plate inside. The reason for plastic now being used in the lid is to allow better penetration of radio waves, such as 802.11 and WWAN, thus providing greater wireless range and signal strength. The keyboard remains the same between the T61 and T60 -- meaning it's once again excellent. The only difference is that now there's more room on the keyboard side areas since the notebook body is wider, the speakers have been relocated to this extra real estate. The keyboard is spill proof and has two drain holes to make sure if you do happen to spill your morning Starbucks coffee, the liquid is carried away from sensitive components and out through the bottom of the notebook The thick metal hinges that attach the screen are very rigid and ensure the screen does not wobble. You'll need two hands to adjust and open the screen as the hinges are very tight. The double screen latch system locks securely to make sure the screen stays down when being carried around. The hard drive is protected within the magnesium roll cage and shock mounted. Even if your T61 is dropped the included Active Protection System (APS) software will work with the on board accelerometer to detect a fall situation and end hard drive activity to prevent data loss. Dimension wise the ThinkPad T61 14.1" certainly changes from its predecessors, it is wider but not as deep since it has shifted to widescreen. The dimensions of the T61 (assuming 4-cell battery that does not stick out) are as follows: (WxDxH): 13.2" x 9.3" x 1.09 - 1.26" (335mm x 237mm x 27.6 - 31.9mm) http://www.notebookreview.com/printArticle.asp?newsID=3708 6/7/2012 NotebookReview.com - Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review Page 3 of 14 The T61 is actually thicker than the T60 was, which is a little disappointing, here’s the dimensions for the 14.1” T60: (WxDxH): 12.2" x 10.0" x 1.0 - 1.2" (311mm x 255mm x 26.6-31mm) So the T61 is about .1-inches thicker than the previous T43 and T60. A picture demonstrates this difference in thickness between the T43 and T61: ThinkPad T43 on the left, ThinkPad T61 on the right -- the T61 is about .1-inch thicker (view large image) While the shape has changed, aesthetically the T61 is pretty much the same as past ThinkPad T series notebooks -- just wider. It is an all black look with the iconic red trackpoint. Black is a fine look, it never goes out of style, just ask Steve Jobs. One subtle change that may rattle some is the new ThinkPad logo you see pictured in this review. But don’t get too excited, those ordering over the web are still going to get the same old IBM logo on past ThinkPads, the logo change is an option for business channel buyers. New ThinkPad logo option (view large image) Input and Output Ports The port layout of the T61 has also changed quite a bit, and mostly for the good since we now have a standard FireWire port and optional media-card reader port. I’m not so thrilled with the fact that all of the USB ports are vertically oriented; I find this more awkward than horizontal. The media-card reader is an option, but it replaces the ExpressCard slot if you go for it. You can http://www.notebookreview.com/printArticle.asp?newsID=3708 6/7/2012 NotebookReview.com - Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review Page 4 of 14 also get a Smart Card slot in place of the ExpressCard if your company needs that. Let’s take a tour around the T61 to see all of the ports that you get. On the left side of the T61 from back to front is the main heat vent and fan, monitor out port, modem and Ethernet LAN port, 2 USB 2.0 ports, ExpressCard and PC card slot. The ExpressCard can be swapped for a media card reader or Smart Card reader if you so choose: (view large image) On the right side of the T61 from back to front is a USB 2.0 port, then the ultra-slim multi-bay drive. This drive is hot swappable and can be removed and replaced with an extra hard drive or battery: (view large image) On the back side of the T61 you can see the 6-cell battery protruding, and then the power jack and another heat vent. Notice how thick those hinges are: (view large image) On the front side of the T61from left to right is the IEEE 1394 port (FireWire), Wi-Fi on/off switch, headphone jack, microphone jack, and the screen opening latch: (view large image) Screen The new widescreen format screen for the 14.1” T-series is either good, bad or somewhere in between depending on your personal preference. Lenovo will try and convince you widescreen offers more screen real estate and so it’s better, the reality is the guys making the LCD screens are forcing it down the throats of the PC manufacturers because it’s cheaper to make widescreen LCDs. For a more complete look at the benefit of standard versus widescreen read the review I did of the initial rollout of a ThinkPad T60-Wide here. Rest assured, Lenovo will offer other formats of the T61 so you’re not in a widescreen or nothing situation. It will be interesting to see if the standard screen costs more; it will almost certainly be less available. http://www.notebookreview.com/printArticle.asp?newsID=3708 6/7/2012 NotebookReview.com - Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review Page 5 of 14 The particular screen I got is a WXGA+ resolution (1440 x 900). It provides easy viewing and you can fit a good amount on the screen, so no complaints on that front. The screen is crisp and there are no issues with graininess. The matte finish ensures there’s little to no glare in office lighting situations. What the T61 screen lacks is brightness, which has always been the case with ThinkPad notebooks. I wish the screen would go about two notches brighter than it does, Fujitsu and HP definitely do a better job offering brighter screens on their business notebooks. When toggling screen brightness I didn’t get a heads up screen display of current system screen brightness level. I found this annoying as this was always included on past ThinkPads, maybe it’s a Vista driver issue still to be ironed out. Some will be disappointed to know that the popular FlexView option in the T60 series will no longer be offered for the T61. This is a shame. The vertical viewing angles on the T61 are, like most laptops, poor. A video of the T61 executing graphics benchmark program 3DMark05 in which I tilt the screen to different vertical angles gives you an idea of how coloration varies greatly depending on how you view the screen: Horizontal viewing angles fair better though, you can see that moving from left to right around the screen keeps coloration pretty much so consistent: http://www.notebookreview.com/printArticle.asp?newsID=3708 6/7/2012 NotebookReview.com - Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review Page 6 of 14 Another thing you may notice about the screen is that it’s off center within the frame -- there’s a greater bezel area to the left than the right.

  • Total Cost of Ownership: Save with a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 2 in 1 Intel
    TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP: SAVE WITH A LENOVO THINKPAD YOGA INTEL vPRO 2 IN 1 DEVICE VS. SEPARATE LAPTOP PLUS TABLET FEBRUARY 2014 (Revised) A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES WHITE PAPER Commissioned by Intel SUMMARY The Intel vPro 2 in 1, a type of device that transforms from a laptop to a tablet and back again, can be the best and least expensive way for an organization to meet the needs of workers who want the portability of a tablet and the business functionality of a laptop. This versatile class of devices boasts the sleek design, light weight, impressive performance, and long battery life of an tablet. Here, we look at the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga, a laptop that rotates to convert to a tablet. The 12.5-inch Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga Multimedia Business model we consider in this report is a 2-in-1 device that supports a range of 4th Generation Intel Core™ i3 to Core i7 processor options including the Intel Core i5 vPro processor we include here. We analyzed three-year costs and value for an organization that plans to purchase two devices for each staff member—a sub-$1,000 laptop and either an Apple iPad Air or an Android consumer tablet—both of which the organization will manage, secure, and support. Our analysis shows that instead purchasing a single Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga, a Intel vPro 2 in 1 that would be a less expensive and more secure alternative for the organization and provide a better laptop plus tablet experience for users (see Figure 1). The exact savings we found are specific to the device models we chose and the assumptions we made (see Assumptions).
