7. Widescreen Display + Stereo Speakers = Multimedia Notebook? Continued

The upper edge of the diagram symbolizes the lower horizontal edge of the display. The opposite edge thus corresponds to its upper edge. The other two edges represent the left and right sides of the display, respectively.

Our test notebook had a Mobility Radeon X300 chip with 128 MB of dedicated video RAM for rendering graphics files. This combination provides a pretty potent graphics solution when compared directly with Intel's GMA900, but it's by no means something to which we think the adjective "extraordinary" rightfully applies. Okay, so there is another model of the Z60m with a Mobility Radeon X600 GPU. But even this configuration can't deliver more than middling 3D graphics performance, so at best, it is among the top tier of middle-class machines.

Excluding the integrated Soundmax HD audio chip, there's also nothing extraordinary about the unit's multimedia capabilities. Lenovo doesn't even offer an IR remote control or an Instant-On AV player, as do some of the other vendors that also aim their wares at the business market. Instead, you'll find a few truly interesting security and comfort features, which really show where the Thinkpads come from.
