The ThinkPad R61 was released by Lenovo earlier in 2007 as a thin-and-light model of the R-series line-up. New features in the R61 include a redesigned roll cage for extra reinforcement in the lid, the new Intel Santa Rosa platform for mobile computers and built in wireless WAN antenna on the left side of the lid (built in).
Reason for Purchase
This notebook is my first notebook and will be used mostly for university studies, casual gaming, office work, web surfing and some mathematics programming. I was not looking for a gaming notebook so I chose the Intel X3100 graphics card as it provides more than enough power to satisfy Vista's graphics requirements. Furthermore, the integrated graphics allows the notebook to remain much cooler than my friend?s T60p (ATI FireGL 5200) and last much longer on battery despite its mere 4-cell battery (compared to the T60 ).
I considered the Dell Inspiron 6400, HP Pavilion dv6500t, Thinkpad T60 and of course the popular Thinkpad T61 before purchasing this notebook. After researching each candidate, I ruled out the Inspiron 6400 (no Santa Rosa platform), Pavilion dv6500t (not available yet in Canada) and was left with three Thinkpad choices.
Build and Design
The design of the Thinkpad R61 is built for punishment. The clamshell enclosure and reinforced lid allows the notebook to be carried with one hand without fear of damaging the screen. There is absolutely no flex in any part of the case. Pressure exerted in the center of the LCD screen yielded merely tiny specks of distortion. The colour is of course all black as seen in the photos while the design remains consistent with traditional Thinkpad designs. Attempting to wobble the LCD lid back and forth resulted in the movement of the whole notebook and the thick metal hinges provide ample protection from even severe torture.
Despite all these design features, there is one flaw that I must point out. The orientation of the USB ports seems rather impractical. All three USB ports are aligned vertically with one beside the ultra-bay and two between the modem and express card slots. I have used some wider USB sticks with the notebook and the two USB slots on the left side do not allow the wider USB keys to be inserted since the notebook is neither high enough off the ground nor were the USB ports placed high enough on the notebook. I question Lenovo's reason for aligning these two USB ports vertically. Personally, I?d suggest that the one on the right (ultra-bay) can be aligned vertically for mouse connections and to not disrupt ultra-bay ejection, but the two on the left should be oriented horizontally (taking pretty much the same amount of space) and providing a much more convenient acceptance of USB keys.
Vertical USB ports do not allow wider USB keys to be inserted. The “Fn” key is located left of the “Ctrl” key. (view large image)
Screen
The screen is very clear in my opinion and more than bright enough. Since my eyes are very sensitive to light and see very well in the dark, I keep my screen brightness to the second lowest increment even on A/C (lowest setting on battery). There are no dead pixels (nor should there be as the notebook is a mere 20 days old) and has fairly even backlighting. The viewing angles are decent at around 135 degrees in each direction.
Speakers
The speakers are decent but not exceptional. They are loud enough for a medium sized (10 m x 10 m) room if there are no other sounds. The speakers do crackle occasionally when they are pushed to their limit in both volume and frequency. I would recommend external speakers for long term music playing or a larger audience. For personal use, headphones would be fine and the ports are conveniently located at the front to reduce torque if pulled out.
Processor and Performance
The actual benchmarks show slight improvement over the previous generation of Core2Duo processors. The processor is definitely fast enough for everyday usage and ran MatLAB benchmarks very well. However, the performance of the hard drive is questionable. Since the notebook has a 5400 rpm hard drive, its access and seek times are relatively slow and this seems to be the bottleneck for the current setup. This conclusion is drawn from loading certain applications once (stored in RAM), then the second time the application is loaded or calculations are made, the processor hits much higher speeds and results in better performance. The time it takes to reach the logon screen for Windows Vista is roughly 58 seconds from a full shutdown, 36 seconds from hibernate and 12 seconds from standby.
For anyone picking a Core2Duo, I highly recommend getting the T7300 over the T7100 because of the 2 MB increase in L2 cache (double that of the T7100). The processor clock speeds may not make an enormous difference, but the cache space usually gives far better performance. Any of the higher end processors only differ in maximum clock speed, so unless the user requires high processor usage, going beyond the T7300
