Lenovo ThinkPad Z60t First Look

I am personally a big fan of the IBM ThinkPads and since Lenovo took over they have kept the quality up on the old IBM brands, but they have also kept up the heft price tags. PCWorld looks at the ThinkPad Z60t, and has a few things to say, and they are not as impressed as you would expect from a notebook with the ThinkPad branding on it.

The Lenovo Z60t presents an odd compromise for notebook buyers looking at wide-screen models. This 14-inch wide-screen unit has a smaller display, lower resolution, and weaker graphics compared with its larger, heavier sibling, the 15.4-inch Z60m–yet at $1999, it’s safe to say that the 14-inch model costs a few hundred dollars more than a comparable 15.4-inch model. True, many notebooks cost more the smaller they get, but not when the difference is this minimal.

In the end it earns a 74 out of 100 on their rating scale, which is not horrible, but now what you would expect from IBM’s legacy.
