The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved.

The T60p is the high end T60, it has the highest end graphics card and comes standard with the flexview display. Im sure theres other differences but those are the main ones.
The T60 has a lower end graphics card but very similar and the flexview can be added as an option. The Z61 14 inch is basically the widescreen version of the 14 inch T60 without a dedicated video card. The R60 is a lower quality model than the others but still very good.
T60 is slimmer and lighter than the R60 and has a magnesium case.The Z series are only widescreen models.I wonder smething else-
i -is it true that in the T60 are used mre durable and high quality hardware parts than the R60-(HDD; DVD optt. drive;Motherboard ; El. adapter;...etc. ) ,apart from the fact that T60 uses lighter and slimmer parts,because it is lighter and slimmer than the R60.After all ,slimmer doesn't mean stronger and more durable,right..?
Look at the charts comparing with notebooks with similar configurations. The T60p was released later and I don't think it is compared directly to the T60. However, the review sounds like the T60p does not give the biggest bang for the buck. It's the most expensive indeed but in terms of performance, it only meets par.
The R60 has a very stiff roll cage. The body is stiffer than the T60 in my opinion. You don't get screen protection without the mag-alloy lid. It is slightly heavier and a bit thicker than the T. They share a lot of parts anyway.
