Review: IBM ThinkPad R51

This is a review of the IBM ThinkPad R51 Notebook computer. This is a business-grade computer from 2005.

Here are the specs of this model:
-Intel Pentium M Dothan @ 1.60 GHz (Socket 479, 2MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)
-512MB DDR RAM @ 166 MHz
-40GB Hitachi PATA 4200RPM Hard Drive
-ATi Mobility Radeon 7500 32MB
-DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
-Windows XP Professional SP3
-9 cell battery

I got this laptop beck in May 2010. It was my first laptop. That's why I named my YouTube channel after it. It is a great computer. I highly reccomend it, as long as you have at least 1GB of RAM, as I learned the hard way!

@KrazyKuul111 lol they are admittedly slow, but you will not find a more reliable laptop than the ThinkPad. There is no competition. XD

I traded my T42 for a Latitude D610 last Thursday, not built as well as the ThinkPad, but I prefer it.
