Wanna buy top of the line notebook for business school?
Just got accepted into the UC Berkeley Haas SB and now its time to retire my old Toshiba Settelite notebook. I am only looking at Lenovo this time and I have a few questions:
1. Lenovo R61 Vs. T61: Which one is better? for what i found from my research, everything else is same except R61 is approx. 0.2-0.3lb heavier.
2. OS: Vista Business 64 bit Vs. Vista Home or vista business 32 bit
3. Integrated Vs. Discrete graphics: my choices are between the Intel GMA X3100 GM965 w/ 1394 (integrated) Vs. nVIDIA quadro nvs 140m
4. HDD: 5400 RPM Vs. 7200 RPM and also: w/ and w/o Full HD encryption (do i need it?)
5. Turbo memory (does it really work?)
6. Memory: 4 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz SODIMM Memory (2 stick) (is it too much? considering a 64 bit OS to take full advantage of the 4 gig)
7. wireless card: ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe US/EMEA/LA/ANZ Vs. Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
8. Blue-ray recordable drive (does it consume too much resources?
This is a matter of personal preference, but I'll give you my opinions.
1. A lighter notebook is always nicer than a heavier one, all other things aside. But the weight difference is minor in this case, I wouldn't give it too much significance.
2. I would first consider my memory needs, and see if I could get by with 3G. I'm not sure what a business student needs, but 3G is fine for most users.
3. The Intel graphics uses less power than the nVidia. The nVidia will give better performance for gaming. I'd go with the nVidia graphics, since it gives you more options.
4. Go for the faster harddrive, the speed difference will be noticable. I personally would have no use for the encryption. A corporate user with confidential data would benefit, but I cannot imagine a student using it. There are programs you can install to provide encryption, and I think this is sufficient for the average user.
5. The feedback I've seen indicates that Turbo Memory made little difference in performance.
6. Keep your SODIMMs paired for best performance, Therefore I'd go for the 4G. The 64-bit OS is fine if you have drivers for all the devices (is it preinstalled?).
7. The wireless cards are a toss-up to me.
8. The drive shouldn't consume any more resources than any other optical drive. Unless you are concerned about power usage. Are you really going to be burning Blue-ray disks while on battery power? Even then, I wouldn't let that be a show stopper. You'll be glad for the larger capacity at some point (when the media gets affordable).

What is Blu-ray?
Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD) is the name of a next-generation
optical disc format. The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting
and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts
of data. The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of
traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a
dual-layer disc. For more general information about Blu-ray, please see our
What is Blu-ray? section.
1.2
Why the name Blu-ray?
The name Blu-ray is derived from the underlying technology, which utilizes a
blue-violet laser to read and write data. The name is a combination of "Blue"
(blue-violet laser) and "Ray" (optical ray). According to the Blu-ray Disc
Association the spelling of "Blu-ray" is not a mistake, the character "e" was
intentionally left out so the term could be registered as a trademark. The
correct full name is Blu-ray Disc, not Blu-ray Disk (incorrect spelling)The
correct shortened name is Blu-ray, not Blu-Ray (incorrect capitalization) or
Blue-ray (incorrect spelling)The correct abbreviation is BD, not BR or BRD
(wrong abbreviation)
