WHAT'S HOT: IBM's best-equipped laptop, the ThinkPad A21p is the Lexus of portables, with superhigh screen resolution, a huge (32GB) hard drive, and a top-of-the-line Pentium-III 850/700 SpeedStep processor added to all the other little luxuries found on most ThinkPads. Graphics editors, spreadsheet jockeys, and others who need to view as much detail as possible in their work will like the 15- inch screen's standard 1600-by-1200-pixel UXGA setting. The A21p's S- Video-out port lets you watch DVD movies on a TV, and the unit also has a video-in connection for capturing video from a video recorder. Equipped with 256MB of memory--twice that of most notebooks--our review machine zoomed to a record-setting PC WorldBench 2001 score of 182, the fastest we've seen for a notebook running under Windows 2001.
