Lenovo ThinkPad Z60t 2513 Review

Trusted Reviews was lucky enough to review the ThinkPad Z60t, the nicest looking ThinkPad in my opinion. They give it a reasonable seven out of ten, and love pointing out all the differences between the Lenovo ThinkPad and the IBM ThinkPad.

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.

Thankfully the model that I was sent is finished in the traditional matt black. But it just doesn’t look or feel like a ThinkPad. I’m sure that the casual observer will disagree with me, but the ThinkPad faithful (of which there are many) will know exactly where I’m coming from.

ThinkPads have always had a very angular look about them that you either loved or hated, but the Z60t is rounded at the edges, like it has been softened up. The lid is also very different - where old ThinkPad lids acted as a sort of cowling around the screen, this one is fairly flush with the display, apart from the very top which has a lip.
