Lenovo ThinkPad Z60m

Lenovo ThinkPad Z60mLenovo has been doing great things with IBM’s old lines of notebooks, and the ThinkPad Z60m is one of them. This is a laptop that is trying to break down the old “IBM is high cost” view that most people have had for ages, and for little more than $1,000, this machine totally busts that mold. Laptop Magazine had a look at the Z60m and gives it a 3.5 out of 5.

As you might expect, there are some sacrifices to be made in order to hit that low price. The Z60m we reviewed features a 1.4-GHz Celeron M processor, lacks a Bluetooth radio, eschews a DVD burner in favor of a DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive, and uses integrated graphics.

Lenovo manages to surprise with some nice amenities, like a 15.4-inch widescreen display, 5,400-rpm 60GB hard drive, tri-mode Wi-Fi adapter, and Gigabit Ethernet. Unlike previous ThinkPads, the Z60m also has a full array of interfaces that includes an ExpressCard/54 slot and a multiformat memory card reader.
