Lenovo ThinkPad R61
This notebook is my first notebook and will be used mostly for university studies, casual gaming, office work, web surfing and some mathematics programming. I was not looking for a gaming notebook so I chose the Intel X3100 graphics card as it provides more than enough power to satisfy Vista’s graphics requirements. Furthermore, the integrated graphics allows the notebook to remain much cooler than my friend’s T60p (ATI FireGL 5200) and last much longer on laptop battery despite its mere 4-cell lenovo laptop battery (compared to the T60p’s 9-cell).
I considered the Dell Inspiron 6400 (dell inspiron 6400 battery), HP Pavilion dv6500t, Thinkpad T60 and of course the popular ThinkPad T61 (lenovo thinkpad t61 battery) before purchasing this notebook. After researching each candidate, I ruled out the Inspiron 6400, Pavilion dv6500t and was left with three Thinkpad choices.
I heard great things about the Thinkpad lines, mostly their reputation as rugged companions with reliable performance. The T60 and T61 proved to be similar in price. Actually, the T61 was cheaper (with comparable specifications) in Canada compared to the T60. However, further comparison of the T61 and R61 showed the T61 (t61 battery) had little to offer me over the R61. The price difference was $200 CAD before tax and I figured that the extra 0.2 lb of weight and 0.2 inches thickness was well worth saving the money for upgrades and accessories.

The 4-cell thinkpad r61 battery lasts about three and a half hours from a full charge down to 5% with lowest screen brightness and minimal use (office work and internet, therefore wireless on). Watching a DVD drained the lenovo battery in around two hours. The times seem respectable since it is only the 4-cell lenovo r61 battery. Therefore, I considered the possibility of purchasing another 7-cell lenovo thinkpad r61 battery to use in conjunction with the 4-cell. This combination should last the whole day when needed for a day of lectures or certain events.

Prolong Dell Laptop Battery Life
Battery Tips to Prolong Your Dell Laptop Battery Life
A new dell laptop battery ( dell inspiron battery, dell latitude battery, dell vostro battery etc ) comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use . Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the laptop battery (such as vgp-bps8, vgp-bps9, vgp-bps9b ) may require three to four full charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity.
New dell laptop batteries ( such as dell 1545 battery, dell 1525 battery, dell vostro 1000 battery etc)are hard for the device to charge; they have never been fully charged and are therefore “unformed”. Sometimes the device’s charger will stop charging a new battery before it is fully charged. If this happens, remove the battery from the device and then reinsert it. The charge cycle should begin again. This may happen several times during the first battery charge. Don’t worry; it’s perfectly normal for the dell battery.
Do not leave the dell laptop battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If the dell battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.
The replacement dell inspiron battery (inspiron 1501 battery, inspiron 6400 battery etc)will often be higher than the original laptop battery. A higher mAH rating is indicative of a longer lasting (higher capacity) battery and will not cause any incompatibilities. A Hi-Capacity battery will, in most cases, outperform the original by 30% to 50%.
