FYI...the mic is on ALL ThinkPads, at least before the sell, and the mini-dock is probably bundled with the ThinkPad by CDW...that's not a normal option on a ThinkPad by default.

Just FYI...

Thanks a lot, Roy, I appreciate it. It is very helpful.

I was expecting the easy comparison options available from
IBM to let me compare the components/parts/options directly
off their web site, in a parallel way & directly link to their
products page, like other vendor's site did, to let me understand
deeper from spec and parts level. That was where I had problems
originally.

Eventually I used CDW's web site, searched to each type/model
and printed the details from there then did a manual compare.

Bottom line is, you are correct - the difference is that
2528FRU has DVD Recordable - comes with the Docking station
2525F6U did not.

Another minor from CDW listing was that the 2525F6U has a built-in mic
but was listed NO on FR8 model. That was not important to me though.

Thanks and best wishes,

Liyun Yu

Looks like you mistyped something. I got the following information from Lenovo's site. Simply go to Lenovo.com, choose support and downloads and put in the Model Type number without the dash, i.e. 2528fru and 2525-f6u


2525-F6U:
P M 778(1.6GHz)LV, 512MB RAM, 60GB 4200rpm HD, 12.1in 1024x768 LCD, Intel 900, Intel 802.11abg wireless, Bluetooth/Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, 8c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro

2528-FRU
P M 778(1.60GHz)LV, 512MB RAM, 60GB 4200rpm HD, 12.1in 1024x768 LCD, Intel 900, CDRW/DVDR, Intel 802.11abg wireless, Bluetooth/Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, 8c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro

The only difference I see is the CDRW/DVDR on the 2528-FRU

HTH,
Roy

I was trying to find out what was the difference
between two IBM Thinkpad X41 Model/Types. I searched
the IBM web site and Lenovo site but did not find
the easy way needed to compare these two:

IBM Thinkpad X41 2525-F6U
IBM Thinkpad X41 2528-FRU

I can find the details of 2528-FRU but could not find
details about 2525-F6U.

Anybody knows a way of how to compare them? Any links?

Thanks,

Liyun Yu
