Meet the ThinkPad R60 series notebook. It has everything you expect from a ThinkPad packed into a sturdy, lightweight container. So you can log on and do business just about anywhere.

The ThinkPad R60 can handle the rigors of use in the office and on the road. It features a magnesium alloy roll cage and shock-mounted hard drives to help reduce some system failures and help increase durability. Add high-speed processors and an advanced graphics solution, and you get a notebook fully equipped to grow your business, not your overhead.

Weighing 3.5 pounds, the ThinkPad X41 Tablet is significantly lighter than the HP Compaq tc4200 and similar in dimensions to the Motion M1400 Tablet PC. It also offers the kind of features you can find in today’s slimmest ultraportable laptops: current-generation Centrino processors in 1.2GHz or 1.5GHz; hard drive capacities ranging from 20GB to 60GB; and a suite of connectors, including VGA, modem, Ethernet, and three USB ports, as well as PC Card and SD card slots. Add in the fingerprint reader and the Embedded Security Subsystem, and you have a machine that’s well suited for the conference room or the field.

Review By Notebookreview

The ThinkPad R60 from Lenovo was recently released and is an update to the ThinkPad R52. The R60 can be thought of as a budget version of the ThinkPad T60. Many options on the T60 are available on the R60 and sizes are very similar. However, the T60 is thinner and has a more durable casing. Those differences aside, if your cost sensitive and don’t crave the thinner more solid case of the T60 then the still very respectable (and cheaper) R60 might be for you.

The plain black case of the midsize R series may not elicit excitement, but its broad range of configuration options–with prices starting at $799–provide tremendous flexibility for businesses looking to make the most of their tech dollar. With the ThinkPad R60, Lenovo loaded up the solid R-series case with new parts, such as Intel’s newest Core Duo processors, fast 667MHz RAM, and ATI’s latest Mobility Radeon graphics chips. The result is a well-made laptop with enough oomph to tackle any basic business task.

The ThinkPad R60, like the R52 it replaces, offers classic ThinkPad features and extremely flexible configurations starting at a budget-conscious $700. However, some of the changes, such as a new, stiff keyboard, may disturb fans of older ThinkPads.

Chief among the new features is the option to connect with Verizon’s wireless WAN (WWAN) service. While WWAN networks are still slow compared with Wi-Fi networks, they expand wireless connectivity to cell-phone ranges to minimize dead spots.
