LENOVO THINKPAD RESERVE EDITION REVIEW

Introduction
This is a limited edition ThinkPad from IBM. You can only find 5000 of these in the world. The laptop is also covered with saddle-grade premium French leather.

Design
This design of this laptop is indeed unique. The laptop is covered in leather and it looks really expensive. If you buy a PC like this IBM gives you access to specially trained dedicated support staff, these guys can help you with everything. Lenovo also claims that if a person who calls them it will be answered within 4 rings and the person who picks up the phone will talk the customers native language. Talk about luxury service!

Performance
This laptop is not any better or stringer than a normal laptop on the market today. The laptop features a 12-inch LCD screen, 160GB hard drive and 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi connectivity. You also get a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB of memory. With other words “it is nothing special except for the looks”. The laptop is running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition very well.

The laptop only features a DVD drive, this is very bad for such an expensive laptop. I would much more like to see a Blu-way drive or a HD-DVD drive. The price tag on the machine is on 5000 Euro so this is only for the most interested people. The Lenovo ThinkPad Reserve Edition is available now in the UK, Canada, China, France, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates and the US.

Conclusion
The look of the computer is rare and unique, but the performance is just average. The laptop runs well in Vista and it is a great laptop if you got money for it. However I believe this is only for the special interested people, and I would not recommend it to anyone simply because of the insane price of 5000$ for an average performance laptop.
