Lenovo thinkpad T61 Laptop Evaluation(second part)

Top part:

When we get this when the thinkpad T61, can not wait to look carefully the material shell machines, hanging in the minds of many of the stones hit the ground in. A shell (top) of the material is no longer the previous T Series plus a layer of metal skin like rubber. But rigid layer of the composite material as a solid shell (official referred to as carbon fiber composite material of glass), by no means certain that the rumor is, as engineering plastics. This material, compared to the past, more thin metal material, as protection will have to add the magnesium alloy roll cage.

You can also conclude that judging from the hand , in air-conditioned environment,lenovo thinkpad T60 laptop through the metal roof gives the feeling of cold, and thinkpad T61 is not; The T60 delicate smooth top surface coating, thinkpad T61 is more rubber texture, can find a little rough. With the emergence of T61, the ThinkPad is the future of other materials will be used to replace the metal roof, many users expressed great dissatisfaction, but if from the perspective from a rational analysis, then, T61 has also been of such an approach is a good way to compromise. As a result of the previous T series uses a metal + paint the shell, the shielding ability of wireless signals, so the screen has a piece of antenna Department “small twist clothing” and the shape of the plastic to prevent signal disruption.

Finally, to sum up the issue of A surface hardness. After comparing experiences, we believe that the hardness of T61 laptop is not the same good as thinkpad T60.Lenovo thinkpad T60′ cap give a hard feel, while the lenovo thinkpad T61 laptop is not, the fingers can be hard to have a small amount of deformation, but the magnitude of this deformation is too small, can not be reflected in real photos.
