Lenovo is showing off its ThinkPad Z-Series, the first widescreen multimedia ThinkPad notebooks. The ThinkPad Z-Series is designed for mobile and small business users who rely on one notebook computer for both work and life demands.
The ThinkPad Z60m’s 15.4-inch display offers 30 percent more data space than a 15-inch XGA and better viewing angles for notebook use on an airline flight. At 1.1-inches thick and just 4.2 pounds, the 14-inch ThinkPad Z60t is the thinnest and lightest widescreen notebook in its class. The Z60t boasts 25 percent more data space than a standard 14-inch XGA screen, the equivalent of four additional spreadsheet columns, offering a convenient solution to business users who often work with multiple applications simultaneously.
Several innovative multimedia features — including hot keys to control application functions and ports to easily upload digital images and video — make the Z-Series optimal for business or home use, including presentations, multimedia and DVD movies. For business travelers, the Z-Series features a new inner armor chassis, a ThinkPad “roll cage,” that may reduce, by up to 30 percent, the amount of stress on internal components when the notebook is dropped.
