"one of the BEST!"
Pros: solid as a rock, fast, dependable, keyboard and easy to upgrade.
Cons: graphics card not meant for gaming
Summary: First off, who ever wrote the review from cnet is a HATER! if you read the entire review it is clear that they have no cons of any real substance; the price is damn good for what you get and the screen ratio is all based on personal preference.
i personally love the non widescreen ratio and wouldn't have it any other way. the price i payed for a 2.o d2c processor and 1 gig of ram w/ dvd burn is about $1700. YOU CANT BEAT THAT for a computer thats almost water proof, has a shock detected for the hard-drive, has a STEEL CAGE protecting its internal components, and a flexview screen encased in magnesium alloy....i mean COMMON! this machine is the KING of machines. if it weren't for the restriction in the graphic card department, this would easily be a ten for me.
now the only problem i see with this machine, as minute as it may be, is that there's no option to choose the non-workstation version of the gpu which would be the x1700. for engineers, designers or whomever would make use of a workstation gpu, this is the very best. and i really have no room to complain considering i knew i was looking at a business laptop and not a multimedia one.
Bottom line... before buying this laptop i extensively researched the competition and i correctly concluded that the t60p is HANDS DOWN the best buy for the money especially for someone who plans on actually using their laptop as a mobile computer.
CNET you let me down on this one and what really hurts is that i KNOW you can do better.Updated
are you happy now? to my extreme dismay, wide-screen is now the ONLY option for t60p. the only thing positive about the new direction of the thinkpad brand is the fact that i made my purchase when the standard ratio was still 4:3.
i've had the opportunity to experience both and wide-screen is just way over rated. the t60p is my first 4:3 aspect ratio and i absolutely love it. it's just unfortunate, with the thinkpad 4:3 extinction, that this might be my last non-wide-screen love.

T61p's are available 14.1 at 1400x1050 but with 128mb 570M rather than 256mb graphics like in the 15 inch wide screens.
