IBM ThinkPad R51 Drivers and software for Windows 2000, XP

IBM is known for making reliable business-class notebooks with outstanding construction and keyboards. (The company tends to shy away from multimedia features.) The R51 fits this description, though its lackluster performance and battery life will leave consumers wanting more.

The R51 is the only mainstream notebook here to have dual pointing devices; we have always been fans of IBM’s patented TrackPoint and full-size keyboard. Also unique in our roundup is the R51’s inclusion of a dual 802.11a/g wireless solution, so you’re covered in any wireless situation. Unfortunately, there are only two USB ports for connectivity, though there is a FireWire port.
