A midrange, | A midrange, consumer laptop, released in 2001. It had quite a good mix of parts and a slim chassis. The choice of PC-100 SDRAM and dual RAM sockets, make for a good all-around laptop although the graphics chipset was quite on the low-end side. The lack of an ATI or NVIDIA graphics integration meant that 3D hardware rendering support was limited, especially at the native 1024x768 resolution. The system runs reasonably well Windows XP, if you really need it, but Windows 98 SE is the best choice, especially due to the good DOS sound emulation support. | ||
Compared to the previous Thinkpad 600E/X series laptops the largest improvement comes from the slightly faster CPU and slightly improved graphics chipset that can offer minimal 3D hardware acceleration. | Compared to the previous Thinkpad 600E/X series laptops the largest improvement comes from the slightly faster CPU and slightly improved graphics chipset that can offer minimal 3D hardware acceleration. | ||
