85%IBM / Lenovo ThinkPad Z61p
Source: Hot Hardware
In the end, is the Z61p worth the premium you pay for the performance you get? The answer to that clearly lies in what the system would be used for. If you are strictly looking for a gaming system, then it is recommended you look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a well balanced system that does not necessarily excel in any one area but provides above average performance in all areas, is solidly built, comes with excellent security and software bundle, and has one of the best reputations in the industry for quality and support, then look no further than the Z61p.

ATI Mobility FireGL V5200: ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 is a CAD version of the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 (probably the same chip). It belongs to the most powerful third of mobile video cards and can represent the newest games well. There are no problems with office applications and surfing.

Intel Core 2 Duo: The Core 2 Duo is a successor of Core Duo and Core Solo with a longer pipeline and up to 20% speed increase without to spend more current. 64-Bit EM64T command upgrade and 2 or 4 MB L2 cache characterize this processor with its 291 millions transistors, which are finished in 65 nm.

T7200: The "T" variants of the Core 2 Duo are the standard versions in notebooks. They need less current than the "E", but more current than the "L" (low voltage) and "U" (ultra low voltage) variants.
T7200 is a T-variant with medium speed.

15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks.  15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays.
The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much current and the laptops can be kept quite compact.
>> To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

2.9 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.

Lenovo: Lenovo is one of the biggest international manufacturer since the acquisition of the IBM-notebook sector. The market share is high as the number of reviewed models in the German and English speaking countrys. Nevertheless Lenovo-notebooks rarely achieve top-positions according total rating or the price/value relation. Remarkable good evaluations exist for the workmanship and quality.
