Lenovo ThinkPad 570 (5703BUK) PC Notebook

Pros: Thin, light, becomes desktop replacement in seconds, best laptop keyboard ever.
Cons: Doesn't have the fancy power management software Toshiba does.

This is the first non-Toshiba laptop that has been a keeper for me since my last Apple PowerBook in 1996, and is my wife’s primary computer. She owns the Celeron 400 powered Thinkpad 570, with a 10GB hard drive, 128MB of ram, the ultrabase with a...

Pros: Great Machine - High Powered - Easy to Manipulate
Cons: I found none!

I'm flying home from Florida writing this review on a new IBM ThinkPad 570 that I borrowed from the office. I really like this laptop! I've used several other laptops made by competitors and this one seems easier to me for some reason. I will try to...

Pros: Size, weight, looks, build quality, keyboard
Cons: Built-in speaker

I got this laptop as second hand, with upgraded ram and hard drive (128M, 10Gb), after researching into the laptop market, i was after an ultra-portable laptop that would not break the bank, and this, for £130 off ebay was the best thing i could ever ...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Price :(

I have been working at KBKids.com for nearly a year now. I have gone from desktop support to jnr sys admin. Since the time that I started here we have migrated all of our notebooks over to IBM's. We originally were using Compaq's (for price only)....

Pros: Runs Windows and NT; rock solid construction; great keyboard and Trackpoint; good display
Cons: Battery life; cost

The IBM Thinkpad brand of notebook computers have a reputation for high quality and rock solid construction. The Thinkpad 570 is no exception to this rule. It is the thin counterpart to the 700 series notebooks and lets you shed some weight without...

Pros: 14.1" screen
Cons: Price

In August of 1999, I went out to buy a laptop computer. I had no idea what to look for, so I just started to look at Toshibas. There was one thing I knew I wanted for sure in my new computer: the eraser thingy for a mouse - I absolutely hate the...

Pros: It looks nice
Cons: unusable because of poor manufacturing quality

after several years of good Thinkpad experience, I changed to a TP 570 (366 PII, 128 MB RAM) last week, which I shouldn“t have done. Wasted time for OS and software installation and configuration. This machine is of such a poor quality like I never...

Pros: Speed; modular design; superb keyboard; light weight
Cons: Pricey; some fragility in chassis construction

I came to the 570 after three years with its predecessor, the TP560, and five years or so before that with earlier, bulkier TP models (360 etc) -- and before that, Texas Instruments 2000 and the like. The 570 is my personal machine; at work, I have a...

Pros: weight, screen, quality, service
Cons: HD size

Amazing how 4 pounds at the curb drop off at O'Hare changes to 20 by the time you make it to what is always the last gate in the United Terminal.

So a few years ago I treated myself to a Thinkpad 560, and have been hooked on the brand, and on...

Pros: best all around
Cons: price

This is a great device for people who are on the go. I am on my second ThinkPad and still love it. It is the perfect combination of computing power, display and weight. I used to travel a lot and the battery life made it possible to get real work done...

Pros: Small, light, powerful, and reasonably priced
Cons: CD-ROM or DVD-ROM requires the Ultrabase

I was interested in an "ultraportable" system and looked at the IBM Thinkpad 570, the Toshiba Portege, and the Sony Vaio 505.

The Sony was a lot cheaper, but at the time was only available with Penitum processors. It also has a...

Pros: Light, thin, very fast.
Cons: Still thinking

Well, IBM has done it again and with the TP570, they have created a laptop worthy of anyone out there. Of course, this does not mean that it is ideal for everyone. Why? Well........

My first IBM was a TP770. This computer is a real...

Pros: ratio of screen/keyboard size to weight
Cons: Metal case might have been more sturdy

This is basically an endorsement of Lawman67's superb review, which says it all. I too got my 570 PII366 on Ebay in July 2002 (with base, DVD, & port replicator -- refurbished with a new screen by secondwindpc), added a CDRW/DVD combo and RAM, and have...

Pros: Good performance
Cons: Personal use, not for the office

I liked this laptops performance when I ran it under Windows 98 using the standard method of connection, dial-up networking. It runs great under those conditions. Runs fast, reliably and without many problems. The pointing stick can be annoying after...

Pros: Thin and Light, plus good price
Cons: Short battery life, awful sound

This new product 570 is a two piece notebook that help you leave those unnecessary stuffs behind for easy traveling(due to light weight). But I am disappointed at it's short battery life, only last about 90 minutes on one charge. It's shorter battery...
