 Lenovo ThinkPad R500 Review: 

Lenovo Thinkpad R500 is your option if you want the timeless design and unbeatable build quality of the Thinkpad without the cost of the T series. The ThinkPad R500 notebook offers both affordability and great performance, backed by the legendary ThinkPad design.

It has an excellent data protection features for uses’ business. Only authorized users can access data on your laptop with a quick swipe of their finger once configured with the fingerprint scanner..

It uses the new Centrino 2 package that includes the GM45 chipset and a Core 2 Duo P8400 dual core processor that puts other budget laptops to shame in terms of computing power. There are VGA and DisplayPort outputs, but you'll need a Display Port-to-DVI or HDMI adaptor to use this with most monitors.

The Thinkpad R500’s 15.4inch display's resolution of 1,280x800 gives you a similar amount of desktop space as the more usual resolution of 1,366x768 on the 15.6in laptops. But with the 15.4 inch display,, the R500 just feels a little too heavy at 6.6 lbs.

Pros:

·                                 Overall build quality

·                                 Nice screen

·                                 Good value

Cons:

·                                 Keyboard flex is disappointing coming from a Thinkpad

·                                 Too heavy and big

Apple iPad Tablet (64GB, Wifi) has A large, high-resolution LED-backlit IPS display and an incredibly responsive Multi-Touch screen. All of the built-in apps on iPad were designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large Multi-Touch screen and advanced capabilities of iPad.
The Apple iPad Tablet is very fast, opening and closing applications is quick, the built in Safari browser does a great job of quickly loading even graphic intense pages and the screen is incredibly responsive, there is no lag while typing.

It's a whole new kind of device with 9.7-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology, 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi). Screen is a delight - even hours of reading later it's still comfortable

You should find the iPad's 3G performance to be perfectly serviceable for most common tasks if you live, work, or otherwise spend a lot of time in a place with soliad 3G coverage. Like most of people surf the internet, reading email, check RSS feeds and keep up with social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook.
It is great for travelling. After having it, we don't have to a huge laptop when travel. It is ultra sleek and easily portable with its just 1.5 pounds and 0.5 inch thick.

Disadvantage:

It doesn't have USB ports to load content directly onto the device. You can't offload your pictures from your camera directly to the ipad. So it can't replace a laptop completely.
It is not really portable (for men). It doesn't fit in your pocket, so some of the man will leave it at home because they don't carry a purse.

Buy it!
