The ThinkPad R52 has a good ratio of screen-size to weight, and is one of the more portable widescreen laptops on the market. It features biometric fingerprint security, strong productivity, and useful power management tools.
This machine’s primary drawbacks include the lack of a DVD burner or memory card reader, and sluggishly slow Wi-Fi connectivity. All in all, however, the ThinkPad R52 offers a good mix of security, speed, and mobility for budget-conscious businesspeople.
