DKC's Hardware Recommendations for:

Intel® Centrino® Duo Mobile Technology on new ThinkPad T61 models — including the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor — can deliver a wide variety of benefits, including true parallel processing when running multi-threaded applications or multiple applications simultaneously. The result: improved performance, enhanced manageability, power-saving features and extended connectivity options. Intel® Centrino® Pro processor technology is available on select T61 models, delivering hardware-based security and enhanced manageability along with exceptional performance and outstanding mobility.

ThinkPad T Series gives you the choice of 14.1" or 15.4" widescreen displays. The new T61 14.1" widescreen model provides enhanced mobility in a 5.0 lb., 1.1" thin design. T61 15.4" widescreen models start at 5.9 lb and 1.2". Intel® GMA X3100 integrated graphics is standard, and for the latest in mobile graphics performance the T61 also offers new NVIDIA graphics chipsets. T61p mobile workstation models feature high performance NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M graphics and high resolution WSXGA+/WUXGA displays.

ThinkPad T61 is the strongest, coolest, quietest and most secure T Series ThinkPad ever:

• The ThinkPad Roll Cage, shock mounted hard drive, and new Top Cover Roll Cage combine for improved strength, durability and reliability.
• A new cooling system, larger vents, and more efficient fans make the T61 run cooler and quieter than earlier models.
• Security is better than ever with available Full Disc Encryption hard drives. And standard across all ThinkPad T Series models are the TPM hardware chip and Client Security Solution software, which integrate nicely with the optional fingerprint reader.

In addition, select T60p mobile workstation models now support Novell Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10. These new models include a select set of integrated, Linux-compatible ThinkVantage Technologies and are undergoing ISV-certification in many mission-critical design applications — putting ThinkPad on its first true path toward a mobile engineering environment.
