Pros: ratio of screen/keyboard size to weight
Cons: Metal case might have been more sturdy
The Bottom Line: It's a great bargain if you want to maximize ratio of screen/keyboard size to weight and don't mind the slow processor.

| bobbomo's Full Review: Lenovo ThinkPad 570 (5703BUK) PC Notebook |
This is basically an endorsement of Lawman67's superb review, which says it all. I too got my 570 PII366 on Ebay in July 2002 (with base, DVD, & port replicator -- refurbished with a new screen by secondwindpc), added a CDRW/DVD combo and RAM, and have made it my computer of choice for most purposes, in preference to a faster Toshiba Tecra 8100 and a much faster Dell 4550 desktop. Carrying 4 pounds, excellent good-size screen, great keyboard and trackpoint, I see nothing around that matches it. I will be adding a Travelstar 20GNX, putting on it either Win2000 or XP. I too put the Ultrabase in luggage (except when I want to play DVD's on a very long plane trip).
Original HD is 6.4GB. Screen is 13.3, not 12.
