Designed for demanding mobile professionals, the ThinkPad 600X weighs about 5 pounds and has a slim 1.4 inch profile that makes it easy to slip under the arm, into a briefcase, and ideal for transporting mobile presentations. The new ThinkPad 600X notebooks also feature the Intel Mobile Pentium III processors running at 500MHz or 450MHz. Earlier versions of the award winning ThinkPad 600 series notebooks also used MagicMedia256 accelerators. IBM's first 15-inch display notebook, the ThinkPad 390X, uses the MagicMedia256AV. Designed as a desktop replacement to bulky external CRT monitors, the 15-inch digital display provides an effective viewing area in a smaller footprint for the desktop user who requires the power of a desktop with the flexibility of a notebook PC. Presentations come to life in the high-resolution active matrix TFT display with wide viewing angles, high-speed CD-ROM drive and dynamic stereo speakers, with video acceleration by the MagicMedia256AV. Previous versions of the ThinkPad 390 series notebooks also ran MagicMedia256 accelerators. ''IBM continues to be a leader in the mobile computing space especially with corporate America,'' said J. Gerry Purdy, Ph.D., President and CEO of Mobile Insights, a market analysis and professional services firm in Mountain View, California. ''New full-featured ThinkPad models improve on speed, sleekness, portability and stability for corporate standards. The new ThinkPad 600X systems are workhorse models planned to be in production on a global basis for several quarters, allowing product consistency for large enterprise deployments. In addition, the new All-In-One ThinkPad 390X Desktop Replacement notebooks provide the power of the desktop with the mobility of a notebook PC. Large and small business users alike want high-performance multimedia features in a thin-and-light configuration, a product category that continues to benefit from NeoMagic's embedded DRAM technology.''
