Review of Lenovo ThinkPad R61i

...I could possibly find. The Lenovo R61I, It had all the features I could think of that I would ever need with a price I could afford! My only concern was the performance that it could have. I figured with all the features there had to be some draw back. I powered up the display and begun running random applications individually and several at a time. There was a split second lag however nothing to be worried about. I have had a few problems with this ...
...softphone? Worry no more, the Lenovo R61I has a built in fingerprint scanner that really works. Just slide your' finger over the sensor and you're on your' way! With laptops I have used in the past the screen tends to loosen up and not want to remain upright. That isn't the case with this one, I have used this to the point that the keys are smooth and shiny as opposed to the fine texture of the mint condition and the screen keeps standing. I would ...

Review of Lenovo ThinkPad R61i

I have owned several different ThinkPad's over the years. I have enjoyed them all and found them to be extremely useful and reliable. I knew that I wanted a decent quality portable laptop that would be suitable for all the basics. I have been using the laptop mainly for office related items such as documents and spreadsheets but have also been using it to store and edit photographs and videos. So far I have had no problems and that fact that it ...
...This version of the ThinkPad is pretty similar to the rest of the laptops in the series. There is little to no distortion with the screen and it is fairly bright and gives a high quality picture. I couldn't find any problems with the laptop as a whole, nothing is loose or flex's for the most part. The R61 has pretty much all the ports you would expect a laptop to have. There are three USB ports on the notebook, audio ports, a wireless switch, a ...

Review of Lenovo ThinkPad R61i

The R61i is based on a good platform of Intel Core Duo and plenty of memory, but it's build quality and lack of mouse pad let it down when it comes to using it. The keyboard is springy and tiresome to use and the silly red button to control the direction of the cursor is difficult enough on a desk but on a moving train, for example, is impossible. So it means you need a real mouse to go along with it and one isn't provided, so that's additional cost. With DELL and HP/Compaq producing much better quality Notebooks for the same price, it's difficult to see who is going to buy one. ...
