IBM ThinkPad R50

 

Well-rounded, easy-to-use ThinkPad covers all the bases.

Neither too bulky nor too skinny, the R50 strikes just the right chord for individuals and businesses in need of a fully equipped but relatively lightweight portable.

IBM ThinkPad R50

 

IBM ThinkPad R50 can sense when it's falling and protect the hard drive.

IBM ThinkPad R50 Review

If you've always wanted an IBM ThinkPad but couldn't afford one, take a look at the R50.

With the ThinkPad R50, IBM has proved that it can make affordable notebooks without compromising on quality. This may not be the slimmest or lightest mobile solution, but it's well featured, beautifully built and doesn't cost the earth.

Some people might think that HP/Compaq's make the best laptop. Even though, no doubt they are good, companies like these do have their main area of excellence. For example, Dell's are the best in desktops, HP/Compaq are overall of satisfactory...

IBM Thinkpad R50

 

I used to use Dell before I switched to IBM and twice my hard drive crashed on a brand new computer. Maybe it was me. I don't know but since I switched to IBM, I've never looked back since. This laptop comes with what IBM calls ThinkVantage...
