GBM InkShow: Warner Crocker got a chance to speak with Mike Majapuro, who is the Lenovo World Wide Product Manager, on his thoughts about what Lenovo wanted to do with the X200 Tablet: Improved battery performance, multi-media features, and overall improved performance.
Lenovo ThinkPad X200T (Tablet) - Hands-On (GBM)
September 19, 2008
Almost a month ago, the new 12.1″ convertible Lenovo ThinkPad X200T (or X200 Tablet) made a debut of sorts at the FCC.
Now it, along with the Lenovo ThinkPad X200s, are about to make their formal entrance into the laptop market next week (the Lenovo ThinkPad X200 already has).
GottaBeMobile’s Warner Crocker got his hands on one last night and put together a hands-on video review for his InkShow, as well as some comparisons against its predecessor, the non-widescreen Lenovo ThinkPad X61 Tablet (the X200 Tablet is a widescreen - with the X200 series, Lenovo has transitioned to widescreen across all of it’s ultraportable laptops).

Fujitsu U2010 / U820 Photos
September 15, 2008
BuyKing.com has several high-resolution photos of the flyer from the upcoming 5.6″ ultraportable convertible Fujitsu U2010 / U820.
This is a major upgrade over the previous U1010 / U810, which used a more conventional laptop-oriented CPU from Intel. The U2010 / U820 has moved to Intel’s Atom CPU, moving it into netbook territory.
Some really nice looking photos from the flyer, including showing off the dock, as well as a vehicle mounting system (think GPS navigation, etc.). There’s even a photo of it mounted on a bicycle.
The last we heard, at least as far as news for North America, is that it was making its way through the FCC.

HP 2730p Elitebook First Look (GBM)
September 12, 2008
Warner Crocker over at GottaBeMobile has posted a video first-look at the new 12.1″ HP Elitebook 2730p Tablet PC.
He thinks it’s going to be a really popular because HP listened to HP 2710p users in regards to some of the complaints they had. They’ve bumped up options when it comes to input options (including a jog dial). They’ve also made it more durable.
The 2730p Warner has is unfortunately not running a Solid State Drive (SSD), but instead is running a 1.8″ conventional HDD, with Vista Business (he does hope to have an SSD version in the near future).

Fujitsu LifeBook P1630 at the FCC
August 31, 2008
Last week we mentioned that supplies of the convertible 8.9-inch Fujitsu LifeBook P1610 and P1620 seemed to be drying up and that a sequel might be on the way.
That sequel has shown up at the FCC in the US. It’s very similar to the past P-series models, with updated chipsets (including a major graphics chipset update) and CPUs.
The users manual is included at the FCC site.
Both Windows XP Tablet PC and Vista are mentioned in the manual, and there are two CPU choices, both still Ultra Low Voltage (ULV).
Specifications from the FCC Test model and manual:

Albatron Tee PC Announced
August 27, 2008
Albatron Technology has just announced the Albatron Tee PC. It’s a “Mini Tablet PC” which was shown off at Computex 2008 a few months ago. Now it’s ready to hit the market.
It doesn’t have a physical keyboard, it’s completely touchscreen (although a docking station is included which allows for a USB keyboard). It’s also running Windows Mobile 6.0 and is powered by a 400MHz ARM 926 CPU. It also comes with both WiFi and Bluetooth.
Size:
- 188mm x 113mm x 12.9 mm
- (7.4″ x 4.45″ x 0.5″)
Weight: 343g / 0.75 pounds
I’m mentioning this device (and unfortunately don’t have a price or shipping date handy) because it’s got a nice display - the display is 7-inches, with a resolution of 800×480 - quite a bit bigger than your typical PDA dispay. Hopefully the display at least can find its way into the netbooks (although Microsoft has indicated that’s not going to happen, at least with Windows XP Home).
