    Is R51 the only IBM notebook that comes with a DVD burner?

    They may have others.
    Here is a link to all the thinkpad models & submodels and what is in each configuration. When you get to this page download the file "tabook.pdf"

    I called IBM and they told me only R50 series came with DVD burner. I checked their website and found only R51 had it.

    The new T42's also have a DVD burner option (or standard if you're buying an upper-spec model).
