    I am planning to order an R-Series from Lonovo and I was wondering which 2 would be worth the money .... the R60 or the R60e

    They are the same build quality wise. The optical drive is fixed to the chassis on the R60e so there are no modular options. The R60e doesn't have a touchpad either. Without knowing your budget or what you plan to do with it, it's kind of hard to help.

    I think better not choose r60e unless you have a really tight budget. Look for r60 instead.
