GottaBeMobile.com has put together a video review of the Lenovo ThinkPad X41 Tablet, the first ot the ultraportable ThinkPad lineup to have Tablet PC functionality. It uses a Low Voltage Pentium M, with a 12.1-inch display (non-widescreen) and weighs in at around three and a half pounds. It’s also a “convertible” – with both Tablet PC functions, while maintaining a full, physical keyboard.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X60s was selected as the best laptop in PC Magazine’s The Best Products of Q1 2006. The ThinkPad X60s is powered by an Intel Core Duo CPU (1.66GHz, Low VoltagE), and has a 12-inch non-widescreen display. It weighs in at around three and a half pounds and has an external optical drive.
Once again it’s time for the Top 10 Ultraportable/Small Notebooks of the month, for April 2006. This list is based on reader interest (which is in turn based on page views, links, etc.). Not the most scientific, but surprisingly it’s been fairly consistent. The only major changes occur when a new notebook is released, but unless it’s an outstanding notebook, the list goes back to what it was before.
Darious Chang asks Is yours too small? It’s a good commentary on the state of ultraportable notebooks.
jkOnTheRun reports that the ThinkPad X60 series are shipping with integrated EVDO options, and speculates that the rumored ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC could be the first of the major Tablet PCs to ship with the EVDO communications option (not just the first of the ultraportable notebooks or Tablet PC hybrids either!).
