Editorial note

The Lenovo ThinkPad R61i stands out for its robustness and practical design, offering a generally positive user experience. With an Intel Pentium T2370 dual-core processor, this laptop ensures reliable performance for everyday tasks. Its 160 GB storage capacity allows for a substantial amount of data to be kept, while providing varied connectivity through several USB 2.0 ports and an efficient Wi-Fi connection. Additionally, the fingerprint reader enhances the security of personal information. However, it is worth noting some drawbacks. The T2370 processor, while effective for basic uses, may show its limits when faced with more demanding applications, such as video processing or recent games. The maximum RAM of 4 GB may also be insufficient for multitasking users. Furthermore, the absence of modern ports such as HDMI or USB 3.0, as well as the weight of 2700 g, may restrict portability and connectivity options. Regarding performance, the ThinkPad R61i receives a score of 70, indicating that it is suitable for everyday tasks but less so for modern demands. The 6-cell battery life is satisfactory, scoring 80, but the weight may make transport less convenient. With a robust and practical design, it is rated 78, although the weight may be a disadvantage. Finally, in terms of value for money, it scores 72, making it a valid choice for users with basic needs, but the aging hardware may not justify its cost for more recent tasks. The security features are a plus, but the lack of modern ports limits expansion possibilities. Support is also rated at 75, with a comprehensive user manual, but concerns remain regarding hardware updates due to the model's age.
