Lenovo ThinkPad 600 X (6005FUK) PC Notebook

Pros: Fast, clear and bright screen, thin and lightweight, a classic!
Cons: Premium price, monolithic and expensive technical support.

A trip down memory lane...

I was issued my first IBM Laptop during my first UNIX systems administration job in the early nineties. The unit was big, bulky, very expensive and difficult to support. The older, smaller viewable-screen (I...

Pros: Practical and efficient
Cons: Not an ultra-sleek style

Since IBM's coming out with the T20, I checked and the 600X is still available. I have been using this machine at work and at home. It can handle all of the larger programs at work (runs on NT 4.0, takes Oracle, Lotus Notes, etc. in stride - I was...

Pros: reliable, light, great performance, ergonomic
Cons: a little pricey, sound is not perfect

Over the last five years, I've had the opportunity to examine numerous notebooks. Some of them I've used personally, others I have helped people learn or troubleshoot, yet others I have bought and configured for friends. With each new notebook that I've...

Pros: size, features
Cons: price (maybe)

I just recently got a Thinkpad 600X at work and it is, to say the least, awesome. It replaced my old Thinkpad 770, which was alot heavier and less powerful.

The specs are 192M memory, 500 MHz PIII processor, 10Gb drive, internal modem, CD...

Pros: Balance of portability and power
Cons: Expensive, hard to find

I've owned and used many different notebooks from many different manufacturers. Maybe it's because my first notebook was the Thinkpad 700C, but I find myself continually coming back to the Thinkpad series. My current notebook is a Thinkpad 600x Type 2645...

Pros: Powerful, Very Light Weight, Exceptional Battery Life
Cons: Drive Bay Not Hot Swappable, A Bit Pricey For Consumers

I just received an IBM ThinkPad 600X a couple of weeks ago to replace my ThinkPad 600E. I always get a little wary whenever I have something that is working well with something new. I always ask, "Why rock the boat?" Well my employer thinks...

Pros: Portable and convenient, slim, light, bright screen.
Cons: The floppy drive bay is still an issue; DVD drive takes up a lot of battery life

I spent quite a bit of time in my previous job assessing laptops. I needed to know as much as possible about Compaq Armadas (the 41XX series), Dell Latitudes, Toshibas (as many as you can count), IBM Thinkpads, and Sony Vaios. I've always been fond of...

Pros: Fast
Cons: Miserable sound, no Start key, poor support

* I've used laptops since the early days with the old Tandy. I've been through the Toshiba line, and now my company has provided me with my second new IBM 600X. As a laptop - good, as a computer - so last year!
* I am amazed at the POOR quality of...

Pros: Lightweight & Powerful, Trackpoint Mouse
Cons: Long wait for delivery

I bought 9 of these Thinkpad 600X's direct from IBM for an awesome price of $2200 each. By default they had a PIII450, 64MB RAM, a 4.3GB Hard Drive, Sound, CDROM and a built in 56K modem. I added 64 MB of RAM (For a total of 128MB), and a 3COM 10/100...

Pros: Fast, reliable, robust
Cons: no DVD

The latest trend in portable computers seems to be finding the most wafer-thin product on the market. As a freelancing consultant in Information Technology, I come cross many different brands of hardware on a daily basis. However, one often finds that...

Pros: Light and thin
Cons: side latches and short battery life

This laptop is just the right size and has an excellent configuration. The keyboard isn't too small and the keys respond very well. Part of me would prefer a touch pad to the little joystick in the middle of the keyboard, but it does work well.
...

Pros: Fast, nice screen, good battery life
Cons: Expensive, only one USB port, only one PS/2 port

IBM ThinkPad 600X
By Stephen Smith

The IBM ThinkPad 600X is a laptop that I bought about a year and a half ago, and I really like it. It has a 600 Mh-z processor and 192 megabytes of RAM. The laptop has a 14-inch LCD screen that is very...

Pros: Ease of use, can run with minimal attachments
Cons: Short battery life, all the add ons make a heavy package

I was given a Thinkpad 600X by my company to use for work. It came with a docking station, two batteries, a CD-ROM, a PCMCIA LAN card, and a 3.5" floppy disk drive. Everything except the docking station came in a Targus bag. This was a substantial...

Pros: Comprehensive, comfortable
Cons: Price, not a 570, doesn't do well at 100 deg.

I spent a long time looking for a notebook computer that perfectly suited my needs. The IBM 600E does everything I need, and I have never regretted my choice for a minute.

I wanted a notebook that would replace my desktop machine with no loss...

Pros: Superior keyboard, lots of power and features
Cons: Slightly heavy for two-spindle machine; only 100Mb ZIP drive avail.

A fantastic piece of hardware. This is by far the finest computer I have ever purchased. Once again, IBM has managed to create quite possibly the best combination of power and portability in a laptop. This is the world-traveling road warriors dream...
