Lenovo’s Road Warrior

Lenovo’s Thinkpad T61p isn’t your average laptop. It sports a 15.1-inch display, Intel Santa Rosa chipset, and Nvidia Quatro FX 570M graphics. What sets it apart from the rest of the flock, however, is the built-in roll cage and next generation ultra-wideband, UWB, technology which allows for 100Mbps wireless data transfer rate as opposed to the 3 Mbps of Bluetooth. So far, the Lenovo Formula One racing team has been using the T61p to demonstrate its power, and now it will be made available to the public as well.
The built-in roll cage takes laptop safety to a whole new level making sure that whatever damage happens on the outside, the inside is still safe and sound. Despite being new technology, UWB is already touted as one of the future technologies that will one day be as common as WiFi and Bluetooth. It’s price is pegged at a whopping $1,814. The price one has to pay for technology.




Has this been on market here in the Philippines? I reckon that since the price posted is in $; it may be that Lenovo Phils have not launched any of the T61 models.
