Lenovo ThinkPad X200T Availability

The new 12″ convertible widescreen Lenovo ThinkPad X200T Tablet has started showing up in the Lenovo store for US customers as the model 7448 (alongside the older X61 Tablet). This is the first major redesign of the ThinkPad Tablet series (the transition to widescreen).

It starts with a 1 year depot warranty, and there are additional warranty options available. The 8-cell battery will set you back an additional $50, however given that it doubles the battery life, it’d be well worth it. As far as the MultiTouch + MultiView display - that’s an additional $275 - that pushes the price up quite a bit, but fans of MultiTouch will want it.

It’s available at:
- Shop.Lenovo.com - ThinkPad X Series Tablet.

The models available ship in 1-2 weeks, and the starting price is lower than what had initially been announced - $1,844.00

Specifications for the base model:
- Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300 (1.2GHz, 3 MB L2)
- 800 MHz FSB
- Standard WideView WXGA Display
- Windows Vista Business 32-bit
- 1GB DDR3 RAM (1 DIMM)
- 5400rpm 80GB HDD
- ThinkPad 11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter III
- 4-Cell Battery
- 1 year depot warranty

The SU9300 is an Ultra-Low Voltage (ULV) CPU. You can upgrade that to a low voltage CPU (along with other options below).

Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablet Review (LAPTOP Mag)

LAPTOP Magazine has reviewed the new 12″ convertible Lenovo ThinkPad X200T Tablet, and were impressed enough to give it their “LAPTOP Magazine Editor’s Choice” award, with a 4 out of 5 stars.

They mention that it still sticks with traditional ThinkPad keyboard design: “The X200 Tablet sports a full-size, spill-resistant keyboard, which of course has the comfortable, tried-and-true ThinkPad design; the keys are very responsive and seem almost to leap back up to meet your fingers. As with the ThinkPad X200, Lenovo has eschewed its usual TrackPoint-and-touchpad combination in favor of only a TrackPoint to streamline the system.”

They also mention that left-handed users should enjoy the X200T - Unlike X61, the display can swivel all the way around, allowing for left-handed users to feel comfortable.

Using an eight-cell battery, their test model was able to get almost six hours of use (and this is not using an ultra low voltage (ULV) CPU - that option will be available later on).

Lenovo ThinkPad X200T (Tablet) - Hands-On (GBM)

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

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)

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).
