Looks like Lenovo has another new ThinkPad Z61 notebook and this time its called Lenovo Z61p mobile workstation.

Configuration wise, many will find similar features as seen on its older siblings, however the Z61p has a better graphic system as it incorporates the new ATI Fire GL V5200 chipset with 256 MB VRAM. This chipset is known to store complex graphics images without burdening the PC processor.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Z61p is powered by the current favorite Intel Core Duo processor T2500 (2.0 GHz 1, 2 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and includes 1 GB of standard memory which can be expanded to a whopping 4GB.

The Z61p has an impressive battery life of 5 hours7 with the six-cell system battery and the onboard UltraConnect antenna further enhances LAN connectivity. This one too includes the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery technology, so you don’t lose sleep over losing your precious data.
