Gottabemobile has two great posts on the latest Tablet PC ThinkPad, the X60.
Bob is going to flip when he sees this. He’s been wanting a new, smaller Tablet PC (he’s been using the Gateway M275 with a 14″ display). Over the last 9 months or so details have been leaking about the X60 and its great to see that the X60 lives up to most of our expectations.
I like the configurability of the X60. Up to 4GB RAM. Up to 100GB 7200 RPM SATA drive. Up to SXGA+ (1400×1050) resolution (An indoor/outdoor touch display is also available). 8-cell battery which Lenovo folks say gives 7-1/2 hours of battery life. A second, thin battery can added for even more battery life.). Weight is just under four pounds–which is OK.
Of all the features, the processor may be a little lagging–it supports up to a 1.83GHz Core Duo L2500. But that’s not too bad. The Intel graphics are OK (Intel GMA 950 with 128MB shared memory)–particularly for a mobile device I guess.
What a great looking Tablet PC.
Lenovo is taking pre-orders now and expects shipping units in 3 to 4 weeks. Hmm. That means by the time I’d get it I’d be well on my way to running Vista on all my machines. I wonder if the X60 has all the drivers for Vista ready to go. More to think about before I pull out my credit card.
