Thinkpad X60 — the Tablet Goes Ultraportable

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the send-review-units-no-return-postage-necessary dept.

Rovi writes "Lenovo had a gift for Thinkpad fans this season- they finally released the successor to the X41 Tablet. The Thinkpad X60 Tablet weighs in at about three and a half pounds and has great tablet functionality. The updates from the older model include a 2.5" hard drive (the X41 used a 1.8"), automatic screen orientation, and an Intel Core Duo processor. For performance seekers some serious upgrades are available, such as a 120GB 5400RPM hard drive, 100GB 7200RPM drive, SXGA+ monitor, or up to 4GB of RAM."

  1. Automatic screen orientation... by __aaclcg7560 · · Score: 5, Funny

    If the tablet is facing a mirror, will the display properly orientate itself to be readable in a mirror?

  2. Great commercial. by skitz0 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When does the regular show come back on?

  3. IBM versus Toshiba? by Makito · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The X60 looks like a Toshiba M400 without a CD/DVD drive - much like the M200.

    My question is, how does the Core Duo 1.8Ghz Low Voltage CPU performance compare to the standard Core Duo 1.8Ghz CPU in the M400.

    Yes the X-series tablet will run linux distro's to your hearts content, however like I said many of the features will be unavailable, including any of the ThinkVantage Technologies that Lenovo puts on them such as the RapidRestore, or Access Connections programs. http://www.thinkwiki.org/
