Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Wide-screen display
  • Internal roll cage
  • 802.11n Wi-Fi
  • Very small AC adapter.
The bad:
  • New Centrino technology doesn't offer outsize performance gains.
The bottomline:

The IBM blueprint is still evident in the Lenovo ThinkPad R61, but the addition of a wide-screen display and all the latest Centrino Duo tricks make this a ThinkPad that could woo home users along with its legion of fans among business travelers.

Editors’ rating:

7.6/10

  • Array Forget the NBN, 100Mbps is already here
    Telstra and TransACT will shortly begin offering 100Mbps broadband to many customers. By moving early, the companies have not only raised the bar for Australia's broadband services, but thrown down a challenge to a government that now faces increased pressure to deliver the NBN as promised.
