Performance

As a matter of fact, sheer performance is not a vitally important factor for a business notebook like the Lenovo ThinkPad T61 because a majority of office applications run quickly enough on any modern system (except on notebooks with Intel’s ULV processors whose frequency is set low to save power).

So, the results of the performance tests are published only to provide a fuller picture of the product. I took three notebooks for the comparison’s sake. Like the Lenovo ThinkPad T61, they are all based on the Santa Rosa latform.

And here you can take a look at the results of some of the tests.

Everything is just as you could expect. The CPU, chipset and memory deliver high enough performance while the graphics subsystem isn’t very fast.
