What You Should Know about the ThinkPad X60s

Not Much RAM for Multitasking

The more RAM your laptop has, the faster programs will run and the greater number of windows you can work in at one time. If your needs are simple and you rarely do more than two things at once on your PC, the relatively modest amount of memory that comes installed in inexpensive laptops will be enough. Today the standard amount of RAM shipped in most PCs is 2GB. If you like to multitask--say, you want to launch a search for a file and start backing up data to a disc while you watch a news video--you need more memory.

Strengths: light weighted quite

Weaknesses: the poorest customer services

Overall Evaluation: lenovo's customer service is the worest i have even met. (1) long waiting time (about 30 min or more); (2) impatient CS people; (3) poor technicians who did not find the machine's problem at all but gave me the wrong information. finally, i received very good help from ibm CS. isn't it ridiculous? so, if you cannot stand poor customer services, stay away from lenovo please.

Strengths: was great when it worked

Weaknesses: once it had a problem, I couldn't get support

Overall Evaluation: I sent my x60s to the service center 4 times because it kept freezing, and it has been 3 weeks of waiting for it and sending it back. They assured me that the problem was fixed, but now it freezes within a minute of being on. I find it appalling that they would claim that it's fixed when the problem is so obvious. Their only solution now is telling me to bring it in to a local service center where I will be charged a labor fee, even though my notebook is still under warranty. I wish I had found these reviews on support before I bought this machine.
