The R50 is simply IBMs "budget" or more affordable laptop. It's slightly heavier than the T41 and can be configured really cheaply with a Celeron processor. However, you can also configure a high-end R50 and it will then match the performance of the T41. Really the T41 is a better machine since it is thinner, lighter and can be configured with higher end components and comes with a default 3-yr. warranty -- It's targeted at business users and power users. It sounds to me like the T41 is more the notebook for you, but if you want to save money then you can go with the R50 and still be happy.

 

I say go for the T41
one of your requirements was mobility
and that is enoungh to forget the R50
plus the 3year warranty is great for peace of mind.
