IBM Thinkpad R51 Notebooks - Trendy And Fit For All Pockets
IBM Thinkpad R51 notebook was launched as part of a well devised strategy to woo consumers and professionals with a system that was light on the pocket. The R51 series has different models for different consumers.
IBM ThinkPad R51, a Centrino based package is powered by Pentium processor. A 1.5GHz CPU for improving the speed of the processor and 802.11b/g wireless are some of the features of the Thinkpad R51. The machine also has the minimum requirement to run Windows XP and equipped with the additional features of the operating system. The laptop can also work with variants of Linux operating system like Ubuntu besides Windows. So if you are not a diehard fan of Windows then, IBM laptops give you the option to use other operating systems also.
The Active Protection System is the special innovation in the ThinkPad notebooks that acts as a protection of the hard disk. The system has a set of sensors that can park the hard drive heads if there is a sudden movement or a danger of the laptop falling. R51 has the active protection system and fitted with a modular 24x CD-RW combo optical drive. It has Wi-Fi but bluetooth support is optional in certain models. Other utility that IBM laptops are fitted with is the Think Vantage Access Connection that allows file sharing for WLAN/ LAN connections and also blocks it when not required.
IBM R51 has so many features at a very attractive price. The only limitation that the laptop has is the storage capacity. The hard drive is only 20GB in size. Graphics are also monotonous and lack vivacity. As far as 3D applications are concerned, there are certain constraints. But for someone who wants to use it for professional purposes then it is a good choice.
