I'm looking to get a new Lenovo Laptop either the R500 or the T61, my first laptop for personal use. Will be used mainly to surf web, getting into photography so it will be used for processing photos (I'll be looking at geting software to do this after), downloading music, and no games. I'm looking to get 2gigs of Ram and then upgrade it to 4 gigs, 2.4 ghz processor, 250gigs of HD and most other specs are the same. Price, I was qouted about $40 more for the T61 so not much of factor.
So what should I go for R500 or T61?
Also people's thoughts on bluetooth, do I really need it? the T61 doesn't come with it.
And operating system should I go with Vista or go with XP?
