X61s ThinkPad from Lenovo
The Lenovo ThinkPad X61s, one of the most awaited Lenovo’s ultra portable laptops, has just appeared on market, and it looks like it is a major upgrade over a previous model, X60s. Weighing only 2.7 pounds, the new 12.1-inch laptop offers a great balance of performance and portability and features a low voltage Intel Core 2 Duo processor that ensures longer battery life and less heating. Although most of the latest notebooks on market tend to have a wide-screen displays, the X61s’ aspect ratio is 4:3 with a native resolution of 1,024×768 pixels which is normally enough for typical office work. The keys are quite big for an ultra-portable notebook, and don’t cause any discomfort when typing.
The laptop can be configured with up to 2GB of RAM, a fast 100GB 7,200-RPM hard drive, and both 802.11n and Bluetooth wireless. There are three USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire port, and the mic and headphone jacks. One thing that ThinkPad X61s is lacking is a built-in optical drive, but with USB flash drives going down in price these days, this should not be a major problem.
Tech specs of Lenovo ThinkPad X61s:
- 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo L7500
- 2GB of 667MHz RAM
- Mobile Intel X3100 GMA
- 100GB hard drive at 7,200 RPM
- Windows Vista business OS
