New Lenovo ThinkPad Fuses Widescreen, Integrated Multimedia with Enterprise-Class Performance

Lenovo today unveiled its new ThinkPad Z61 series and R60 series, both combining the power of Intel’s Core™ Duo processors with newly enhanced multimedia and wireless connectivity options. The new ThinkPads are designed and custom-built for users who want enterprise-class power, durability, data protection and ease-of-use.

The new Z61 series is also optimal for today’s business professionals seeking more flexibility in advanced multimedia and connectivity options in a widescreen format. Available in 14.1-inch (Z61t) and 15.4-inch (Z61m), the new models feature a choice of integrated or discrete graphics and up to 4 GB DDR-SDRAM for optimal viewing. The Z61t offers a WXGA/185-nit or WXGA+/200-nit display, while the Z61m also adds a WXGA MaxBright option, enabling users to reap the benefits of clearer, brighter images.

“The ThinkPad Z61 series merges the power and performance of our top systems with the work-life usability of a widescreen display,” said Marc Godin, Lenovo’s vice president of notebook marketing. “In addition to building some of the industry’s thinnest and lightest notebooks, we have designed the ThinkPad Z61 to accommodate the wide array of needs business travelers have for their notebook PC.”

Both Z61 models feature an integrated camera and stereo microphone for videoconferencing, and are equipped with 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi capability, as well as integrated wireless WAN (WWAN) for connecting to Verizon Wireless’ high-speed nationwide network in the U.S.(1) Lenovo was the first PC manufacturer to integrate a WWAN antenna for wireless internet access via evolution data only (EvDO) technology in standard notebooks, beginning with the ThinkPad Z60 series in September 2005.
