| jagundo's Full Review: Lenovo ThinkPad T20 (264746U) PC Notebook |
Well, what can I say about the T20 other than what a machine. I have used the 600 family, the 380 family, and the 570. I work with these systems all day. But one thing caught my attention most about the T20. For starters, the sleep mode has finally been fixed compared to its brothers. Now you can put your laptop into suspend mode with peace of mind that when you wake it, it won't have to be rebooted. Features such as the ThinkLight keyboard light allows you to work even in the dark, now this is amazing. Another interesting feature is the wireless communications options that give you greater freedom to work wherever you want to work via the infrared ports. Though, overall support is not quite the best I must say. I have had multiple issues with support and drivers from IBM, though finding the drivers on their site is fairly easy.
The Assistant offers an online user's guide with a quick search engine, plus animated how-to demos including installing memory and more which makes it easier for the less computer savvy. Now they have Individual volume control buttons: up, down and mute, for quick and easy
access. Thinkpad Button gives you one-button access to IBM and launches Access ThinkPad, the site where new updated drivers specifically for your laptop model can be downloaded. You can also download additional software to customize your laptop for the most ease of use. There are
lots more interesting features, like the battery life. It can be in standby mode for hours longer than its brothers.
Wireless features are amongst the best. After all, let’s face it, you buy a laptop for it's remote possibilities. Communications is easy with the integrated RJ-11 and RJ-45 ports for connectivity via modem or LAN for those of you who use it in the office. Also, the built in 56K modem for fast accurate connections. This is nice for when you need to have the bay slots available for additional PCMCIA cards you may need.
I can continue promoting this laptop, but the truth is that it speaks for itself. After working so long with the IBM family, I have come to realize the T20 is one hell of a machine for the professional and the non-professional. I highly recommend it to anyone expecting allot from a laptop. Trust me, you won't to wrong.
