Thinkpad T61 : update to the T60
The new CPUs from Intel, including the T7300(92p1077) in the ThinkPad T61, all include some power saving and performance boosting features. One feature is called Enhanced Dynamic Acceleration, which will power down one core of the CPU when it’s not needed, and use some of the power saved to boost the still-active core, giving it more speed. On top of that the FSB has been increased from 667MHz to 800MHz, providing more bandwidth and faster communication between the CPU, the memory and the chipset.
New switchable graphics, LCD backlit displays, and DisplayPort technology features give you superior graphics performance on your ThinkPad T Series notebook. Experience brighter, crisper colors and lower power consumption life with the new LED backlit displays on the ThinkPad T Series. These new displays are bright without sacrificing battery life, with 25% brighter displays and using 2W less power than conventional CCFL displays. These high-resolution displays also contribute to the thin and light design of ThinkPad T Series notebooks, weighing 70 grams lighter than conventional displays. Users who travel frequently will appreciate the wide dimming range of the LED backlit display. This allows you to reduce brightness while still experiencing a crisp, comfortable display in dim environments such as an aircraft cabin. Finally, to protect the environment, our LED backlit displays are mercury-free.
One major feature the Centrino Pro ThinkPad T61 has over the Centrino Duo Thinkpad R61 is the inclusion of Intel’s Active Management Technology. 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.
Battery Life : Thinkpad T61 battery is 6-Cell battery. It can last about 2 hours 15 minutes, check the reduce screen refresh option and you can gain a couple of minutes of battery life, and the interface will show you that approximation.

In all the ThinkPad T61 Widescreen is the latest in Lenovo’s ThinkPad T-series of world-class laptops that have stood the test of time among corporate professionals. But the transition is now complete – the T61 is the first ThinkPad in PC Pro not to feature the IBM logo at all – and we’re relieved to say that the ThinkPad range is none the worse for it.
