Pros: After having this laptop for a month, I would say that this laptop is excellent all around! Some of the qualities I love are the built in keyboard light (excellent while traveling on a plane at night), 2 PCMCIA ports, built in Bluetooth that works excellently with the wiimote, the laptop can connect to a wifi location 50 meters away, and there is a built in microphone to the right of the touchpad! In addition, the fingerprint scanner works flawlessly with the included copy of Windows XP Pro SP 2. from Newegg.com Pros: Absolute great balance between size and performance, feels very solid and looks like it means business. Screen, keyboard, touchpad, pretty much everything is done just right on this little battle tank. Won't catch me dead with a Toshiba or HP after owning this. from Newegg.com Pros: Perfect size, great price, nice quality, no-glare screen, easy to see keypad even in low light (although not backlit), has XP. Cons: Wireless signal issues (possibly my wireless router's fault), short battery life. Often when starting new session, computer says that connection is strong, yet won't connect. from Newegg.com Bluetooth support. Wireless works great, had it connected to my network in no time. Fingerprint reader works great, real timesaver. Overall, a great combo of hardware and XP Pro. from Newegg.com Pros: This particular laptop is pleasant to use just like all the other R series out there. Like all Thinkpads, this one keeps functionality and practicality over complex and asinine keyboard layouts. from Newegg.com Pros: People, this is one of the reliable and tough notebooks out there. If you are looking for something to hold on to dont hesitate, just grab this wonderful deaL. from Newegg.com Pros: This is my second buy from newegg after seeing the 1st one performance. The price is excellent, and this thinkpad is excellent, and awesome Cons: None Other Thoughts: Newegg is one of the best place to get deals, and beside their customer service is excellent from Newegg.com Shock sensor. Keyboard light. Fingerprint reader. Built-in Bluetooth. from Newegg.com Pros: The R61i has typically excellent Lenovo build-quallity, excellent keyboard, and design. This notebook "is all business," not meaning that it can't be used for other purposes, but simply more goes into the product than the eye can see. from Newegg.com Pros: great look, light weight, vibrant screen, excellent wifi adapter wireless connection. I upgraded to 4 gb ram, and it fly like anything. Cons: none Other Thoughts: for 650 dollars, this is one of the best laptop preloaded with xp professional you can get. from Newegg.com
