Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad Z61p
Source: Hot Hardware Archive.org version
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: The ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 is a professional graphics card for CAD and 3D applications based on ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 core.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
T7200: Mid-range (at the time of annoucement) dual core processor based on the Merom core. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.40":
15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
