A | A nearly , quite slim, business laptop, released in 1999. It had a good mix of parts and a slim chassis. The choice of PC-100 SDRAM and dual RAM sockets, as well as graphics chipset, make for a good all-around laptop. By 1999 the laptop was already obsolete due to the video chipset choice but this was standard for IBM laptops of its time, with no 3D hardware rendering support, no matter how rudimentary. The system runs reasonably well Windows 2000 or Windows XP, if you really need it, but Windows 98 SE is the best choice. | ||
The graphics chipset is below average for such a great CPU. The great scaling support make it possible to have very sharp output on the internal or external display, although less smoothly than on modern computers. It depends on taste if you like or hate this scaling mode without any blur but some small rough edges. Overall, the Neomagic graphics chipsets were very fast for 2D operations, definitely faster than Trident or Cirrus Logic Chipsets and Chips andTech 6555x chipsets in just about every respect. The Neomagic graphics is the top performer on 2D graphics both for compatibility as far back as Windows 3.1 and DOS as well as competitive with Chips&Technology or S3 Trio 64 videocards. No real improvements due to the additional video RAM available on the 600X. | The graphics chipset is below average for such a great CPU.
