Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review, @laptopsbattery.us blog

Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Review, @laptopsbattery.us blog

lenovo-thinkpad-t61-laptop

ThinkPad T61 14.1″ widescreen notebook

Important to note is that this review covers the 14.1″ widescreen version of the T61 series. As with any laptop model series, there are going to be widely varying configurations you can choose that will greatly affect system performance.

Specs:

  • Processor: Intel T7300 Core 2 Duo (2.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, 4MB Cache)
  • Graphics: Intel GMA X3100
  • Operating System: Windows Vista Business
  • Display: WXGA+ 1440 x 900 (LG screen)
  • Hard Drive: 100GB 7200RPM (Seagate Momentus 7200.1)
  • Memory: 2GB (1GB x 1GB), up to 4GB max
  • Ports: 3 USB 2.0, 1 FireWire, Monitor out, modem, Ethernet, headphone out, microphone in
  • Slots: 1 PC Card Slot, 1 ExpressCard slot (optional media card reader and Smart Card reader)
  • Optical Drive: Ultra-slim Super-Multi Drive
  • Dimensions: 13.2″ x 9.3″ x 1.09 - 1.26″ (335mm x 237mm x 27.6 - 31.9mm)
  • Weight: 5.1lbs

The good: Internal roll cage protects LCD; 802.11n Wi-Fi for faster wireless throughput; very small A/C adaptor adds little to overall travel weight; Intel's Active Management Technology provides remote support.

The bad: New Centrino technology doesn't offer outsize performance gains.

The bottom line: Lenovo's 14-inch ThinkPad T61 shaves a few millimeters off the company's more mainstream R-series laptops, but still boasts the same, solid ThinkPad DNA along with IT-friendly features by way of Intel's new Centrino Pro platform.

Design and Build

The ThinkPad T61 is a premium product with a durable build, it is geared towards business users or simply those willing to pay a bit more to get something that won't fall apart after 1-year of use. For somebody that travels a lot or relies on their notebook to earn a livelihood, the build and reliability factor is probably more important than having the latest and greatest components inside.

The keyboard remains the same between the T61 and T60 — meaning it's once again excellent. The only difference is that now there's more room on the keyboard side areas since the notebook body is wider, the speakers have been relocated to this extra real estate. The keyboard is spill proof and has two drain holes to make sure if you do happen to spill your morning Starbucks coffee, the liquid is carried away from sensitive components and out through the bottom of the notebook.

The hard drive is protected within the magnesium roll cage and shock mounted. Even if your T61 is dropped the included Active Protection System (APS) software will work with the on board accelerometer to detect a fall situation and end hard drive activity to prevent data loss.

Screen

The new widescreen format screen for the 14.1″ T-series is either good, bad or somewhere in between depending on your personal preference. Lenovo will try and convince you widescreen offers more screen real estate and so it's better, the reality is the guys making the LCD screens are forcing it down the throats of the PC manufacturers because it's cheaper to make widescreen LCDs.

The particular screen I got is a WXGA+ resolution (1440 x 900). It provides easy viewing and you can fit a good amount on the screen, so no complaints on that front. The screen is crisp and there are no issues with graininess. The matte finish ensures there's little to no glare in office lighting situations.

Processor and Performance

The ThinkPad T61 now uses the Intel Centrino Duo (Santa Rosa) platform. You get a faster processor front side bus (800MHz), more processor cache (4MB) and an improved integrated graphics solution in the form of the Intel X3100. If all that talk is nonsense to you, then suffice it to say the T61 offers newer and better processing components than the T60. Will this performance be perceivable in helping to run MS Word faster? No of course not, but certain processor intensive tasks such as encoding video will be faster. And even if you won't be utilizing every ounce of processing power, just knowing the processor is faster and you're on top of the game is enough to make people like myself want to buy it.

Battery Life

One thing that's always a concern with a new platform is battery life. Reading the first reviews that came out about the T61 sounded like gloom and doom with reports of 2 hour battery life. It seems most of the initial reviews were done using very power hungry dedicated graphics solutions and with a 4-cell battery.

I had the opportunity to test a larger 6-cell battery on an integrated graphics system, and got 3 hours and 41 minutes of battery life under what I would deem normal usage. I was using the T61 with screen brightness set to half or lower, Vista battery optimized setting, wireless off to get this number. In a torture test, I set the screen brightness to top level, put in a DVD (Stargate) and played it until the battery hit 5% and the PC went to sleep 鈥?which happened after exactly 2 hours 15 minutes. I wouldn't call that bad, it'll get you through most movies.

The downside of a 6-cell battery is that it sticks out of the back (see pics) and weighs more, but I'm always be willing to carry a bit more weight for an extra hour of battery life. A positive comment that should be made is the power adapter is nice and small, it's actually the same size as the X60 ultraportable series adapter.

Keyboard / Touchpad / Pointing Stick

The ThinkPad T-series hasn't changed too much over time, and that's a good thing, there's no use changing something that's just right. The ThinkPad keyboard is one of, if not the best, notebook keyboards out there. There's zero flex, every key feels individual, every key has great travel/feedback and the keyboard is full-size.

The T61 has a pointing stick, I love using this and find it much easier than the provided touchpad — it makes it so you can move the cursor around the screen without having to lift your hand from the keys, a much faster and easier to control style of input. But the great thing is that if the pointing stick isn't your cup of tea then you've got the touchpad as well.

Wireless

The ThinkPad T61 uses the Intel 4965 wireless chip that offers 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless reception. All of your bases are covered there, and the greater range 802.11n offers is on the table if you have an 802.11n router. The range of the ThinkPad is theoretically greater now that the lid material has changed to plastic too. The antenna is run up through the lid for better reception you see, and the new lid material allows radio waves to reach the antenna more easily. I was only able to test up to 100-feet away from my NetGear WGR614 802.11g wireless router, which I despise for its bad performance and tendency to drop connections, but the T61 worked just fine with it and I never suffered a connection drop and throughput was consistently good.

NB battery module factory batteries news

NB battery module factory batteries news

4th quarter, according to market rumors that the battery core supply and demand is expected to become the global balance, battery core prices probably will decline, Taiwan notebook (NB) cell module plant is that the current balance between supply and demand on the battery core is also too early to demand the second half of view estimated battery cells are still in short supply conditions, the overall supply is still insufficient to meet demand, estimated to have to wait until 2009 to open up new capacity is completed one after another, the overall battery core supply and a chance to reach equilibrium.

Manufacturers that Q4 core of the international battery manufacturers of the new capacity out one after another, coupled with the mainland battery core supply of plant parts make up the gap, making the core out of the battery slightly eased the situation, perhaps the battery core prices moderated slightly promote NB cell module price down, but the estimate of the overall gross margin impact Buzhi Yu too, with the battery core supply increases, benefit from volume growth, economies of scale will make up for falling prices affect the site, NB battery module for the second half of the industry outlook is promising.

S & P said the new technology, see Q3 current battery core supply is out of stock, despite the season 4 would be more relieved, estimated the overall supply is still insufficient, needed to 2009, the overall battery core supply and demand will tend towards equilibrium, 4 quarter to increase the supply of main reasons in addition to South Korea's LG Chemical Plant (LGC) capacity gradually return, and some of mainland China factory supply battery cells to fill the gap, the battery module is conducive to NB in Q4 shipments continued to grow, but not enough overall business required.

Company said, because the battery core is supply and demand imbalance, both in order to satisfy the already battered Liang, let alone new customers and new Yingyongcengmian, such as portable devices outside the Chu NB, Gong Ji Moreover Bulun battery cells or not enough, the most the main thing is to observe the ability of the company's orders, if the ability to get orders strong enough, the battery core supply better, create more traffic, In addition, the battery core supply growth is also conducive to cost control, the new Price that is a good thing, observe the 4th quarter of the current orders is still quite good, but the battery core supply is inadequate, for the second half of its growth is still very confident.

Shunda technology also understand that the 4th quarter of the battery core supply and demand would still not balance out the short set. Company said the new production after another out, 4 quarter of the battery core supply and demand gap is expected to be more relieved, but still short of the demand is not enough orders, because the second half of NB industry growth, but it seems quite good, seem to affect the U.S. economy not, of course, NB for the overall market in Q4 sales or further observation, but the present circumstances, it had enough battery core supply, if the sales were above expectations, the core will only missing battery.

Companies that worry about the battery core supply of the outside world increase, will cause the price drop, but even if the price reduction will not increase too much, of course, to cell price cuts, NB battery module will be followed by lower, but estimates for the gross margin impact will not be too Big Moreover, the battery core supply increases, NB battery module shipments increased and then conducive to economies of scale, is expected to offset the gross margin decline caused some price cuts, so for the second half of the overall view of NB cell module industry is optimistic about the economy, growth can be expected.

Viruses, micro-batteries

According to the U.S. life science network reports, August 20, Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers claimed that only half the size of human cells by the virus, micro-batteries ahead of doctrine microorganism.

At present, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineer has now completed three parts of this micro-cell design in two parts, the micro-battery can be implanted medical sensors or lab computer chips to power, and those very small objects. In addition, it can be implanted into other life than imagine the body. It is reported that micro-battery can be installed in the surface of a stamp or printing.

Micro-battery electrode array, each electrode only 4 microns in diameter

On the micro-battery testing

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Paul Lahamengde, Angela Bell thorough, often Ye-ming (transliteration) and the research team colleagues for the study, they noted that, as far as we know, this is for the production and placement of micro-batteries The first micro-electrode contacts print instance, while this is the first assembly of the virus for the manufacture of micro-batteries. The study, published in "Journal of the National Academy of Natural Sciences" journal.

Belcher said, "The current team has built and tested a miniature battery part two of the three requirements, the technology itself does not involve any expensive equipment, while the experiment need to be completed at room temperature." Micro-cell consists of two opposite electrode 鈥?the cathode and anode, which were isolated from the electrolyte. In the current research status, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology research group has established a cathode and anode and electrolyte.

First, the research team in the light, the use of rubber material called "soft lithography" (soft lithography) technology to establish the general model of micro-battery connector, micro battery connector of these only 4-8 microns in diameter. The top of the battery connector, the team accumulated a number of two-polymer layer, its role is a solid electrolyte and battery isolation device. Next, the virus self-assembly in polymer battery connector top layer, eventually forming the anode. This will form a mini battery connector back, each battery connectors are covered with electrolyte layer and the cobalt oxide anode.

Hammond explained, and then we manufacture the battery connector back and transfer the electrolyte and anode to a platinum structure. Together with sheets of lithium test. At present, the research team focused on the establishment of a full third part of the battery 鈥?the cathode, they used viral assembly technique.

Belcher said, "We are very interested in the use of biological organisms integrate these micro-battery." It is reported that the study is conducted by the U.S. Army Research Institute and David Lucile Packard Foundation investment completed.
