Presenting The Lenovo ThinkPad R60
Lenovo’s new ThinkPad R60 is their update to the ThinkPad R52, and is essentially an “economy” version of the T60. The two machines are similar, but the T60 is thinner and has a more durable casing. Aside from this, if you’re a penny pincher and don’t find a little extra weight, the R60 may fill the bill quite nicely.
The R60 contains the new Intel Duo Core processor, three USB 2.0 slots, optional integrated WWAN, a magnesium-alloy roll cage and an ATI X1400 graphics card. The display comes in two sizes:14″ and 15″ screen size.
With a basic Intel Celeron configuration, the R60 starts at under $800 USD. Adding bells and whistles like an Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz processor, EV-DO antenna, ATI X1400 video card, 100GB hard drive@7200RPM and a multiburner config raises that figure to around $2,000, but both versions are quite durable, come preloaded with useful software, and include excellent user support.
That said, the R60 is not a multimedia notebook. As such, you’ll want headphones or external speakers for listening to music. All things considered, however, if you’re looking for a very basic and durable notebook for common tasks, the ThinkPad r60 should keep you happy for several years.
