Lenovo ThinkPad X200T Availability

Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablet 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

Changes Coming to Voodoo?

Voodoo Envy 133 With the recent launch of the ultraportable 13.3″ Vodoo Envy 133, a laptop many were looking at as a competitor to the Apple MacBook Air and Lenovo ThinkPad X300, it seemed like HP’s acquisition of VoodooPC was going well.

If you’ll recall, HP bought the boutique computer maker almost two years ago. Over the past few days, there have been quite a few rumors flying around that the end of VoodooPC was near (at least as we know it). HP has been aggressively pushing its brand, and Voodoo’s product lines had dwindled (although some saw the Envy as a major boost to the VoodooPC brand).
