More…The ThinkPad T60p Widescreen is Lenovo's first wide-screen corporate laptop with workstation graphics. Its 256MB ATI Mobility FireGL V5250 graphics chip is optimized for OpenGL, the programming environment of choice for many big-name game developers and other 3D-modeling professionals. The WSXGA+ screen has the high, 1680-by-1050-pixel resolution needed to do detailed graphics work. The screen is quite dim, however, despite being rated at 200 nits. This drawback isn't a deal breaker, but even compared to the 150-nit-rated standard-aspect 14-1-inch Lenovo ThinkPad T60, the Widescreen definitely looks a little darker.

Lenovo ThinkPad T60p Widescreen
ThinkPad T60p Widescreen Review, by Carla Thornton May 10, 2007
Our $2199 test machine was otherwise very nicely designed. Equipped with a 2-GHz Core 2 Duo 7200 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 100GB hard drive, it was a good performer. In WorldBench 6 Beta 2, it earned an admirable speed score of 73. The battery, an upgrade in our notebook from the standard six-cell to a nine-cell, lasted a lengthy 4.5 hours. The T60p Widescreen is also well equipped for wireless communications, with draft-n (and 802.11a/b/g) Wi-Fi support as standard and cellular broadband as an option. At only 6.2 pounds, it truly is a mobile workstation.
The T60p Widescreen has all of the same great ThinkPad features as the smaller T60, including a top-notch keyboard with dual pointing devices and a modular bay for using two batteries at once. But only the strongest eyes will want to squint at this machine's dim screen for long.

Strengths: thinkpad button, fingerprint reader, wide screen, bat life
Weaknesses: no media card reader, screen seems a little "dull" and difficult to read at times.
Overall: All in all I'm happy. So far I haven't had any hardware probs. I got mine thru pc connection great place) with vista business just to change things up. I would say right now vista is taking some time to get used to. as for the machine i did a batt test and got a good 4 hours of "normal" use. I used everything just to check it out. thinkpad button is great. I wish it had a media card reader..there is room. The screen is not as crisp as my fujitu n series, but that is a desktop replacement. I am happy with the weight being half of my fujitu. I give it the thumbs up for now, but i start med school in may and will really put to the test then.
