The first thing that struck me about the chassis was that on the top there are icons at the sides indicating where each port is. This is really useful as you aren't left fumbling around looking for a USB port. If in doubt, look on the left hand side, where you will find a single USB port, FireWire, Ethernet, a PC Card slot and an SD Card reader. On the right hand side are another three USB ports and audio connectivity. At the rear of the right panel is a D-SUB connection, and at the back there is an S-Video output too for connecting to a TV.

The X60s remains to be a very desirable computer and a great pick. This system is not cheap, but it works well, is very light, and has a great battery life. These qualities make it competitive, but what seems to push it over the top are the extras, like the refined design, readiness for business use, and function keys, SD card reader, and software package. During testung the X60s performed up to all expectations, which were high given the product's price. It was extremely easy to move around, held up to the punishment of daily use, and it allowed for the type of mobile productivity that a high demand user requires. Through the testing it ran cool and offered trouble free performance, both of which are very nice given the problems so often associated with laptops. In the future it would be nice to see an improved base and more RAM, but there are not many notebooks which can compete with the X60s.

When Lenovo acquired IBMs PC and laptop business many feared for the
reputation and quality of the famed IBM ThinkPad brand. However, they
ought to have feared not as Lenovo sensibly kept the ThinkPad brand
going, and judging by our reviews the quality has stayed too.

Decorated in a light grey, I quite like the look of this Lenovo case. It's a desktop rather than a tower case, which is a rare occurrence nowadays. This means you can potentially save desk space as you can put an LCD panel directly on top of it, while also saving you from banging your knee on a tower case under your desk. This would have to be at the very front of the case, due to the air vents towards the rear-top of the case...

Until recently, Lenovo was a little known brand. Upon the acquisition of IBM's PC Division, the name has certainly echoed around the office. Not too long ago Riyad looked at the first Lenovo branded ThinkPad and was a little disappointed that it had moved away from the traditional IBM approach. This is the first time we've taken a look at a non-ThinkPad Lenovo brand notebook, so it'll be interesting to see what the company can come up without relying on the IBM branding...

Sitting in front of me is the first Lenovo branded ThinkPad to make it into the TrustedReviews lab - the Z60t. This is also the very first ThinkPad to implement a widescreen display - something that's very welcome in my opinion. Now, I first saw this ThinkPad a few months back at a Lenovo event in London and I was horrified to see that there were silver versions on display. It seems bizarre for Lenovo to start producing silver ThinkPads, when a large part of the ThinkPad branding has been the black design. After all, every other company makes silver notebooks, ThinkPads have always been different...
