    I should also add that the R61e does not have a touchpad. That may be important for some people.

    The CPU selection is different too.

    R61e starts at Celeron.
    R61i starts at Pentium Dual Core.
    R61 starts at Core 2 Duo.

    R61e and R61i only comes with integrated GPU. Only R61 gets the option of discrete GPU.

    That’s a good point, the picture gallery is not accurate at all.

    Some of the R61is lack a touchpad and docking port depending on machine type.
