 | | You can configure the ThinkPad R40 to handle a variety of tasks: The modular bay accepts a multitude of hot-swappable optional devices, such as a secondary 40GB hard drive, a floppy drive, a secondary battery, a Zip drive, or a cradle for a numeric keypad or for IBM's PDA, the WorkPad C500 Series. |
 | | The R40 works with two optional docking stations, IBM's basic $179 Port Replicator II, which adds legacy ports and gigabit ethernet, and the $229 Mini Dock, which also adds its own power adapter, a four-port USB 2.0 hub, and a key lock. |
 | | In our speed tests, the R40 produced the sort of performance expected from a 1.3-GHz/400-MHz Pentium M-equipped notebook, turning in a PC WorldBench 4 score of 118--only about 5 percent behind the average for Pentium M notebooks with the faster 1.6-GHz/600-MHz processor. |
