    Hi all,

    How is the speaker quality of R51 vs. R40?

    How about overall build quality of R51?

    If I don't mind the bulkier notebook design, there is no reason to choose T42 over R51 or R52, is this correct?

    Lastly, how is R51 vs. Dell Latitude D810 in terms of build quality?

    Thanks,

    VK

    For the last question, the R51 will be way better build than the Dell. Dell is plasticy, and has a way lesser keyboard. IBM is the way to go if you don't mind the cost.
