Earlier in the year Lenovo announced a few new models to their ThinkPad line, the R61 was one of them. R-Series ThinkPad's were considered more of a value notebook than anything. People who could not afford the pricey T-Series ThinkPad's would get an R-Series instead. The new R61 features a 14.1-inch widescreen display, Core 2 Duo processor, wireless antenna built into the lid, and a thinner and lighter design weighting in at just 5.5lbs. Let's see if the R61 can breathe new life into the R-Series.

Lenovo's R-Series used to play second fiddle to the T-Series, offering cut-down features and less performance for budget-strapped businesses. The pedigree gap is now closer, and the ThinkPad R61 is a very good laptop which should certainly be considered if you don't need the premier performance of the T-Series. The new model is more media-friendly than its predecessors too, it now has widescreen and Blu-ray options, and the inclusion of 802.11n is great for heavy wireless networking. All models in the range share the same excellent built quality, and you've got a choice of adding more layers of security depending on your business needs. If you can do without WWAN and cutting-edge 3D graphics, the ThinkPad R51's build quality and manageability should give it a long lifespan and prove excellent value for money.
