Lenovo ThinkPad 600 X (6005FUK) PC Notebook

Pros: Light weight, nice bright display.
Cons: Problems with Windows 2000, didn't like built in mouse, no floppy drive, not enough RAM.

My uncle owns a 600x and I spent alot of time using it. I thought it was a very nice laptop. It had a nice compact design, was very lightweight, and I really liked the display. Even though the display is just 13.3 you really can not tell the difference...

Pros: Thin, light, and fast.
Cons: Speakers are less than desirable. No window's button.

I must say, long ago as a wee lad in NJ, I felt burnt by IBM with it's PC Jr. line. Promised the world, I was delivered anything but.

With this machine, I was simply amazed. I too got this machine for business purposes but have since then...

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: 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: very light and good processing speed and very good screen
Cons: Poor sound

I use the IBM Thinkpad 600x for my work and it is a great computer. My last laptop was bulky and very heavy with a very small screen. This IBM 600x is very thin, a wider screen and about half the weight. It is a great computer. It is even faster than...

Pros: excellent ibm craftmanship
Cons: horrible battery performance

You can consider this about 10 reviews in one. All the consultants on my group have the 600x and we have all had the same problem, the battery is horrible.

After a couple months, the life goes down to about 20 minutes if you are lucky. And...

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: Vivid Screen, Nice Keyboard, Good Sound
Cons: little problem with the trackpoint

IBM Thinkpads are NOT inexpensive. As a seller and a user of this particular product line I have a lot of experience with it. My step father purchased the Thinkpad 600X from me as a replacement to his Sony VAIO 505TX a few months back. The price at...

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: 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: Performance, Screen, Keyboard
Cons: Price

I received this product for my job in the finance industry.

The ThinkPad 600 impressed me from the very beginning. It has a very sharp 14 inch display with excellent ergonomics and functionality.

I have been using this machine for...

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: everything
Cons: nothing

I just bought this machine last week and it has a PIII 500 MHz processor with 128 MB RAM and a 12 Gig harddrive. This machine is so unbeleivabley fast. It is incredible. It has a hot swappbable cd-rom drive and I just love it. The picture is crystal...

Pros: Good performance
Cons: Mouse port is crazy

I have been using this laptop for two months now, and it have been through long hours (15+ hours a day) and two trips. So far so good, I have done my word editing and even compilation and running of Java program on it, it has no noticeable performance...

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...
