ThinkPad X61 Tablet vs Current Competition

Lenovo ThinkPad Earlier this week, over at The Student Tablet PC site, they posted part one of an interesting comparision, The X61t vs Everything Else. Part one covers the ThinkPad X61 Tablet versus the current generation “convertible” Tablets (convertible = can switch between a Tablet PC and laptop form factor).

It compares the following:
Lenovo ThinkPad X61 Tablet
HP Compaq 2710p
Fujitsu LifeBook T4220
Toshiba Portege M400
ASUS R1F

Excerpt from the article:

Its hard to avoid the buzz generated by the Lenovo x61t. It’s constantly being talked about across all of the tablet PC blogs. Is it the ultimate tablet PC? Is it the best device for students? Is it the best choice for someone who is new to tablets? Is it a good notebook without taking the tablet function into account?

I’m going to look at these questions from a student’s perspective by making a number of comparisons to see if the Lenovo x61t can live up to its hype.
