price range: $1,056.62 - $1,148.99
read full reviewProduct brief
Description: This configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad T61 is a 5.1-pound, mainstream notebook computer.Compared to other consumer level notebooks on the market, it is midpriced at around $1,085.Has Wi-Fi (wireless connectivity) built-in.
Pros: Has a plug-in module media bay, which is considerably more favorable than some similarly priced notebooks.In fact, the typical cost of a product with this favorable a media bay is $1,465.Also, this notebook has only a 5.1-pound weight, which is lighter than some similarly priced notebooks.Has a modular media bay -- meaning its DVD? RW(? R DL) / DVD-RAM drive is removable, allowing you easily to swap it out for alternative or upgraded units.This is a Santa Rosa Centrino.
Cons: Has only 1 GB RAM, which is less than some similarly priced notebooks.For example, the HP Pavilion tx2120us, a 4.6-pound notebook at around $1, 180, has 4 GB RAM.Shared video memory has an adverse effect on system performance which may be okay for users with more modest graphics needs.Users with more demanding needs should look to a graphics solution that brings its own muscle.
Suitability: A consumer level notebook, suited for general mobile computing.Store massive amounts of data on DVD using the DVD recorder included in this computer.Comes with advanced word processing software; whether you regularly create tables of content, elaborate footnotes, or complex newsletters this software can handle it all.Make your home movies more impressive by using the bundled video software to edit material uploaded from a digital camcorder.If you have a wireless network at home, wirelessly browse the Internet from any room in your house with this Wi-Fi enabled laptop.
Value: Overall, this notebook has great features for the money.For example, when it comes to screen size, the average price of mainstream products with a similar screen size is considerably more -- in fact around $1,279.Generally, this economy-class model lacks whiz-bang appeal, but budget-minded consumers will like the low price.
Suggestions: (1) Given this device's Wi-Fi capability, you may want to get a wireless access point for your home, so that you can browse the Internet more conveniently from any room.(2) To get the most out of this computer's Bluetooth capability, you could have a Bluetooth-enabled headset, PDA or other device, and be able to link it wirelessly to your computer within a range of 20-or-so feet inside the same room.
