The Lenovo R500 from the legendary ThinkPad range is a 15.4” widescreen mobile workstation designed to give extra power for calculations and more viewing space for presentations.
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor alongside 2GB RAM allows for a hassle free experience with the smooth-running of programs, while the 15.4" TFT widescreen display makes for an visually stimulating viewing experience.
The operating system is chosen by you as there is both Vista business and XP Pro included in the box and the integrated Bluetooth means connecting devices wirelessly is done in a matter of seconds not minutes.
On top of all this there’s enough space for everything you could possibly wish to store on the capacious 250GB Hard drive, and the interests of security are taken care of with a built in fingerprint reader.
This model offers a total entertainment package for a fantastic price. An opportunity not to be missed, nor will it be by the people in the know!

Question from Brendan: Asked on 25/11/2008 Looks good value. However, I really don't want Vista. Is this laptop available with XP?
Also, how does the double memory deal work with this laptop (comes with 2Gb, Max 3Gb)? What would it be with 3Gb RAM and XP?
