Thinkpad Lenvoo R61 Review
The Lenovo Thinkpad R61 laptop has been widely praised for its stylish design, its extra hard drive protection and its great battery life. The Lenovo R61 ThinkPad also doesn’t get hot as quickly and has decent viewing angles. It is cheaper than its nearest competitor, the Thinkpad T61, which has made the Lenovo ThinkPad R61 notebook computer a popular choice. However, it is heavier than the T61.
Both the ThinkPad Lenovo R60 and the ThinkPad R61 are sturdy and inexpensive laptops that would be great for anyone who is using the computer for basic tasks such as word processing.
