    This is a well built system that is perfect for a non gamer, but make sure you uninstall the bloatware from it.

    I wouldn't buy any of the accessories. You could get them from other places for a lot cheaper (50 to 75% cheaper).

    For your specs you could save money by getting a R61 14.1" Widescreen. With almost identical specs. They are about the same quality.

    I'd upgrade to draft n wireless tech, if you get a R61 you can get a CAM built in too.

    Buy a DeathAdder mouse from me.

    Get what you want. :) It's so easy to help people spend their money. ;)


    My mouse isn't wireless. It is nice though. Designed for gaming. I have some of them for sale in the sell forum.

    Good luck building your ThinkPad.
