Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had used an R500 yet?
Im interested in getting one , as a 'Desktop' home machine.
Am i right that this model - like the R61 - has a pcmcia type II card slot still? (afaics its an express / old typeII 'double' slot, right?).
Id also like to know how loud the fan noise is, on high cpu load.
Thanks
Take a look at our

Had an R500 273232G for a month now. It's like my old R60 buth wide screen and louder speakers (better placement). With the default instalation it was an OK machine. I reinstalled custom build of XP and it became the fastest laptop I've seen The time difference between new boot-up and wake up from hibernation is next to none! Impressive.
I also use it like desktop replacement and it's quiet more than enough for watching movies, even when on load.
It has more than 3:30 hours battery time with WiFi on and browsing. So if you havent picked up yours yet I recommend.
