IBM ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC Reviewed

Posted by Hemos on Monday October 31, 2005 @05:26AM from the looking-under-the-hood dept.

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."

I really need a note-taking machine to be a Director of IT. I mean. Basically I take notes all day and delgate shit... occasionally turning wrenches when I'm the only one around who knows how. (Maybe I should be looking at a rachet set.)

I like this one, but the HP TC4200 is just "nicer". If MS had any brains they'd force OneNote onto everyone of these machines. It's not the greatest program but it intergrates really well with Office 2K3.

the brilliant IBM support

That's funny; when I call them I get Lenovo. Is this review in a time warp?
