ThinkPad R Series Notebooks

The ThinkPad R Series offers affordability and great performance, backed by the legendary ThinkPad design.

 

Models are available with a variety of display sizes and form factors, meaning the R Series meets just about every business or home office need. Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology delivers more power, stunning new HD capabilities, and an innovative design to help extend battery life. Users get the power they need to comfortably run Windows at its full potential — without the use of an external graphics card.

 

Meanwhile, outside the processor, software-based ThinkVantage® Technologies tools such as Rescue and Recovery®, System Update™, and Access Connections™ help users further maximize their productivity while lowering their total cost of ownership and simplifying their computing experience.
