Hi all Thinkpad loyal user,

I have used a thinkpad t-series 5 years ago and love it due to the amazing reliability. Then I join another company and they give me a hp. Hate it so much.

Anyway, the new company i will be joining in a month time allow me to chose my notebook with the value up to RM6000. I will definitely chose to get a thinkpad but i am not sure whether i should get the t61 or the r61. My job is a regional, thus i need a fairly lightweight notebook. I love widescreen too and need it due to the many spreadsheet i need to do.

Any advice from the expects here are appreciated.

i have used the t series 5 years ago and i like the slim and lightness of it. But what you saying is that I will be paying additional 2k for the built material. Not sure whether its worth it or not. All the other features of t61, well...its nice to have but not a must. I can buy accessories for it like the webcam and card reader if i do need them in the future.

Will definitely check it out. But with the 2K different, even though I have the budget from my company to purchase the notebook of my choice, I rather used the 2K for something else.

Thanks for you advice.....U can beat a Thinkpad...
