The R31 is the second device in the R3x series and was produced from February 2002 to July 2003. In terms of features, it is very similar to the T23, but in terms of quality it is more favourably produced. One striking feature of the design is the angled corner at the top left - an interesting element that can also be found on the R4x, T3x and X3x series.

My model has a medium configuration - but unfortunately lacks the WLAN preparation, which is why no antennas have been installed in the display. Retrofitting is therefore ideally done via an external WLAN card.
