The R52 is the third model in the R5x series. It is the last R model developed by IBM and was manufactured between March 2005 and February 2007. The angled corner at the top left known from the R40 has been removed.

The design largely corresponds to that of the T4x series - however, the display bar of the clamshell is slightly higher.

My model has the large dedicated graphics card and the second largest CPU, the RAM is configured almost to the maximum (2 GB are possible).
