Lenovo /IBM thinkpad X60S laptop

The ThinkPad X60s is the latest incarnation of the popular ThinkPad X-series from Lenovo. This model has aversus voltage L2400.The main difference between the Core Duo X60 and X60s notebooks is that the thinkpad X60s has a low voltage processor while the X60 does not, therefore this review can still be treated as a general overview for both models.

    • Battery:

    The thinkpad x60s battery life,the all important factor.The battery dies in 2 hours and you have to find a power outlet as a lifeline to staying charged? The X60s I have comes with an extended life 8-cell battery,replacement battery for thinkpad x60s, it sticks out of the back of the notebook rather than being flushed, and weighs more than the standard 4-cell. But I’ll gladly carry the extra weight for the 5 hours and 59 minutes of battery life I get with the X60s.

    Design and Build

    The lenovo thinkpad X60s has actually undergone some quite significant changes in design. Well, I say significant relative to how much a ThinkPad changes from one generation to the next. The X60s is slightly deeper than the past X41. There are now 3 USB 2.0 ports as opposed to the usual two, there’s a FireWire port and the hard drive goes from 1.8″ size to 2.5″ size.

    If you are still considering what to buy laptop, the Lenovo thinkpad x60s would be a good choice.
