IBM ThinkPad R52 Review

by Carla Thornton

- IBM updates the processor but not much else with the ThinkPad R52, its latest entry into its R line of laptops. A thicker version of the thin-and-light T line, the R52 is virtually the same 7-pound corporate laptop as last year's R model, only faster and with a couple of new connections, including the new ExpressCard slot, which takes the place of a second PC Card slot.

User Reviews for Lenovo ThinkPad R52

Reviewed by: white8989

Duration of ownership: 1 Year

Strengths: Security, Features, Usable additions, Look, function.

Weaknesses: The hard drive manufacturer.

Overall Evaluation: I got the IBM R52 last year, to which I am very pleased with it. This was an upgrade from my former IBM thinkpad R40 which in it time was a good system. I had the R40 since 2003 and to this day it runs perfectly. I think that the R52 will do the same. I have had nothing but good luck with IBM thinkpads. The only problem that I had with this R52 is that the HD had been corrupted by lord knows what, however IBM was able to clean the system and get everything back with ease. This had happend 2 times. After the 2nd time IBM changed and even upgraded the hard drive from the 40gig to an 80gig. I would recomend the IBM for those that are looking into this model.
