IBM ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC Reviewed

JR writes "CoolTechZone.com has reviewed IBM's ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC that works as a standard notebook computer as well as a tablet PC. Generally with hybrid products, there are quite a few limitations attached, is that the case with X41? According to the article, "The notebook has a lot of drawbacks, lacks important features and tries to make up all that with its lightweight and a fingerprint reader that works like a charm. If you are looking for a small lightweight tablet and won't do much more than e-mail and note taking, along with basic office stuff, we would seriously recommend this one for it's battery life, the extreme lightweight design and the brilliant IBM support, but be ready to pay anywhere from $1800 to upwards of $2000 for a common purpose machine."

Lightweight? is that the proper usage of the word? shouldn't it be "light weight"?
Same as the brand name Lenovo instead of IBM, I suppose.

No, seriously; how many Harvard-boy types do you know that use a PC as anything more than a fancy typewriter?

Put a secure OS on the machine so the PHBs can't load it up with their usual menagerie of malware, and IBM could have a real winner here.
