IBM ThinkPad R40

 

The R40 delivers high quality and sturdy design, and its 5:48 battery life is one of the best we've seen.

IBM ThinkPad R40

 

This basic ThinkPad has a good selection of features, strong performance, and long battery life.

This basic, general-purpose, midweight ThinkPad is equally adept in the office or on the road. It's flexible, secure, and a pleasure to use.

IBM THINKPAD R40 P4M-2.2G 60GB 256MB XPP DVD/CDRW 15-XGA 56K ENET (IBM-2681L7U)

 

Though $2149 is still a substantial price, this ThinkPad dishes out excellent value.

ThinkPad R40 review: ThinkPad R40

 

ThinkPad R40

Long battery life; reasonable price; includes both 802.11a and 802.11b wireless-networking support; wide keyboard.

Big footprint; mediocre speed in lower configurations.

The ThinkPad R isn't a screamer, but its low price and awesome battery life make it a smart choice for bargain hunters.

IBM THINKPAD R40 (2682K4U)

 

While it offers reasonable performance and features, the R40's high price isn't really justified.
