The specifications for the ThinkPad R60 include Intel Pentium duo core processor T2300 which runs at 1.66 GHz with 2 MB L2 cache, the Intel 945GM Express Chip (800 MHz FSB), 512 MB DDR2 PC2-5300 SD RAM with a maximum of 2 GB and a standard 24X DVD or CD-RW combination optical drive, along with an 80 GB 5400 rpm SATA HDD. The best part about the Lenovo ThinkPad R60 is that it has a larger screen measuring 15.4 inches with WXGA widescreen LCD with TFT display.
Speaking of the components of the ThinkPad Lenovo R60 laptop, the entire PC is packed up with magnesium framing which truly acts as a defense against falls. The hard disk of the ThinkPad laptop has shock absorbing technology and uses the standard hard disk protection mechanism. The internal components of the ThinkPad Lenovo R60 notebook are caged with magnesium to help reduce stress up to 30 percent in case the notebook is dropped. The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 1.2 security chipset gives enhanced security with the fingerprint reader permitting system access and secured data or information only to authorized persons.
ThinkPad Lenovo R60 Review
The R60 ThinkPad system is solid and comes with a good quality ThinkPad keyboard. The only downside is that it sacrifices heavily on storage so that the dual core processor can be put together. For business users, this shouldn’t be a problem but the regular user will probably want a larger hard drive, which can be found in similarly priced notebooks.
You can find a lot of low-cost notebooks if you are ready for the old Celeron or the core solo processor. If you want the Intel 2 Core Duo processor, it will give you enhanced performance and that’s why this notebook PC has compromised with the storage. It will run out of space if you use it for digital photographs, music or video. If you take a look at many other budget systems, the others offer much better than the Lenovo R60 laptop for hard drive space.
In the area of graphics, the ThinkPad R60 notebook offers 4:3 screens as well as a newer and wider screen for users who prefer a larger viewing area. The best part is that Lenovo continues to deliver excellence in keyboards and controls and that is the biggest advantage of owning one. Additionally, it feels sturdier than other notebooks.
Lenovo R61 Review
The Lenovo R61 is highly recommended for people who are looking for a low budget laptop. It has a new roll caged design and if you are looking for something that is reliable and portable, then your search ends here. Though it lacks in other features, overall it is a good choice.
The ThinkPad laptops have a roll cage design that helps improve the rigidity of the laptop. With the Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 processor, it is a good deal with a low price point. The problem is with the 512MB of PC2-5300 DDR2 memory which is suitable for limited uses. Another disappointing factor is the storage space. It only has an 80 GB HDD which is just average for low cost notebooks. The Lenovo R61 comes with a CD-RW/DVD combination burner.
The ThinkPad Lenovo R60 and R61 are solid computer laptop systems that will surely last longer than other budget laptops.
