    CNET Review

    March 22, 2006

    The Good: Extremely portable design; excellent keyboard; fingerprint reader; integrated WWAN radio; great performance; incredibly long battery life when configured with high-capacity battery.

    The Bad: More expensive than comparable models; lacks built-in optical drive; lacks built-in support for ExpressCards.

    The Bottom Line: The first ultraportable to accommodate Intel's Core Duo processor, the ThinkPad X60s combines blazing performance and incredible battery life with a full feature set and a compact case. We like it.
