h Microsoft Word 7 and Excel 7 scripts developed by NSTL shows that the ThinkPad 760CD doesn't match desktop performance.
Less-than-desktop performance, which is typical for portables, stems from weaker graphics speed. The Wintach graphics test showed that the comparison Dell desktop system had 67 percent better graphics speed. We tested at 800- by 600-pixel resolutions with 256 colors.
Both the Dell Dimension XPS P90 and the ThinkPad 760CD had 90-MHz Pentium processors and 16 MB of RAM. The XPS P90 had an STB Powergraph 64 Video graphics card.
