Very portable .... Uber battery Stamina !!! , August 8, 2007

By Faisal Jalawi Alkhaidan (Kuwait) -
i recived Thinkpad X61 last week from Lenovo ThinkPad X61 76754KU order...
words r not enough to explain how portable and small he is.. i used to use my ferrari 3000 Lmi last 3 years, then i noticed that i need a laptop that had more battery stamina Life and portable, i crossed all over the net to check, i saw the sony laptop ( Single Core solo ) is portable but soo Expansive, that's why i recommend Thinkpad X61, and Lenovo ThinkPad X61 76754KU will be nice if u buy the ultra base dock with it.. i will get more USB slots and alot of options with a great stereo sound, comon let's face it ... who needs Cd Drive anyway? just use any Cd DVD mount program and ur done ^-^.

that's not a problem, get the Ultra base dock station with Cd drive if u want a cd drive ... or plug ur usb Cd-drive.

to be honest am not interested in cd-drives anymore, i think the USB Sticks or portable harddisks r enough.

i really recommend thinkpad X61 as best laptop for traveling alot or having a portable laptop to ur work with a high Buttery Stamina life About 12 hours or more.

My first thinkpad, a great product, July 14, 2007

By Dr Lu (MA, USA) - The product I am reviewing is an X61 with T7100 (1.8GHz core 2 duo) and 1GB memory. But the slight difference in the CPU is unlikely to change the overall impression too much.
I have previously used Dell inspirons and latitudes, actually currently owning a latitude D620 with T7200 (2GHz core 2 duo) and 2GB of memory. When my wife needed a new laptop, and preferred a super portable with a $1000 budget, I was so amazed I could find such a deal for X61 at lenovo.com. (it turned out to cost me 960 in total). I convinced her that Lenovo ThinkPad X61 76754KU "business type" lappie looks cool too, and not to mention this is the brand that is commonly regarded as the standard-setter in the whole laptop industry. She actually liked the look of this one when arrived. Me too, since this is "my" first lenovo thinkpad.
OK, down to the real things. Good ones first.
1.Even after knowing the specs for a while, I am still amazed at how light-weight this laptop is. The power adaptor is also well engineered to be like a small bar, about one-third the size of the one for my dell D620.
2.Despite the light weight, the construction feels very solid. There is no comparison between this one and the consumer-lines of laptops, such as inspirons. Also feels more solid compared to D620.
3.This laptop runs super cool. The online reviews for D620 says it runs cool. The X61 is way better in this regard.
One the bad side.
1.It comes with tons of useless software pre-installed, such as evaluation packages of office and norton, aol, and earthlink. This is of course the same with all other manufactuers. I just wish all these companies can ship machines cleaner and provide all the junks on a CD or something.
2.The build time is longer than Dell before shipping

Great ultra portable from IBM(Lenovo), October 18, 2007

By I. Alam (Alexandria, VA USA) -
Well I was on the market for an ultra portable after owning a bulky Dell Inspiron 6000 (7.5lbs). I was hesitant at first about buying from Lenovo due to alot of quality control issues surfacing after the split from IBM and build dates taking over 30 full days (thinkpads specifically, not thinkcentre desktops). After reading some reviews on some sites, I still decided to take the plunge because of the great price and weight class it fell into. Well I must say that I am very pleased with my decision. The X61 is solidly built and super light ~2.9lbs. My thinkpad is also the 1.8ghz dual core chip w/1gb of RAM. I got the system for $900. The default OS for this machine is unfortunately Windows Vista - this has to be one of the worst MS products (right after Windows ME) out there. You have an option to choose XP Pro, but they charge an extra $79 for that. Pairing Vista with a machine with less than 1gb of RAM is not recommended. Performance is good though, but adding another stick of ram would help it out due to the fact that Vista is a resource hog (waiting for SP1 to improve performance). Wi-fi connectivity is quick and reliable. Screen resolution does leave you aching for more brightness. There is no touchpad - only the classic cool red rubber pointer. Noticed and have read alot of people talking about the cursor drifting alot. I decided to stick with the base 4 cell battery - the 8 cell cylindrical battery sticks out the back. Don't get over 2 hour of life with regular surfing, but that's all I need. Keyboard has good feedback and isn't too meshed together. Has a neat keyboard light that is mounted on the top of the screen hinge that helps lighten up in dark surroundings. Noise level is pretty low, don't have a decibel reader to confirm the exact number. Base does not heat up too much so no lap burns. Also there is no optical drive on this system, although you can get it as an option with the port replicator. Only reason again that I didn't give it 5 stars is due to MS Vista.
