Lenovo Announces ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC

There will be 2 models available, one with an SXGA+ screen and a resolution
of 1400x1050 and a touch model with a 1024x768 res and an available
indoor/outdoor screen.

I have full specs and photos as well as a review on my site.

Looks like a nice machine though it seems they are just now catching up
with Toshiba. That screen res has been available from Toshiba for a
while in the M400. Looking forward to your further review as I am
shopping for a laptop for my son who will need a little power for his
audio engineering program he's in.

Re: Lenovo Announces ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC

Toshiba has had the high resolution since early on, but it's only recently
that other companies are starting to believe that there's a demand for it.

The Lenovo doesn't show any of the blurriness that I've seen on some models,
which is good news to me.

Re: Lenovo Announces ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC

There is also a 7200 rpm harddisk (100GB) available for it - as well as
three 5400 rpm.

Re: Lenovo Announces ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC

Yes, I noted the drive speeds in my review. No doubt that the hard drive
speed is a big improvement over the former 4200rpm ones.

I think people underestimate the impact of a faster hard drive. For
someone that doesn't need to have the optimum in battery performance, a
faster drive is well worth the extra cost. I went with a 7200rpm drive
in my M400 after supporting many folks over time that have fast
processors but their computers seem so slow. Swap out the hard drive
for something faster and their machines achieve a zippy nature.

Of course laptops that easily support 4gig of memory help that as well.

As far as screen resolution, the biggest impact the screen resolution
has is on the ink. The higher screen rez means a higher rez digitizer
which allows more notes to fit on a screen and look decent. But there
are always going to be folks that prefer to see things at 800 x 600 due
to vision issues. The offices I've worked in have always had folks
that prefer to see their 17 and 19" LCD screen set to 800x600,
regardless of the native resolution of the panel. These folks don't
even notice the lack of crispness in the screen images.

I agree, and I've pepped up my older machines (like the 600Mhz
Transnote* I'm writing this on) with faster drives, but note that you
also have to make sure the faster drive has enough cache.

Re: Lenovo Announces ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC

With the 2.5" form factor, or with the 1.8" form factor, like the X-41
Tablet PC?

I am trying to get a disk larger than 60 GB for my X-41 Tablet PC
(1.8" PATA), and I don't know where to get it.

Juan -

Sorry, I don't know. You might want to check Terri's website and see what
she has on it.

2.5", Juan - I just happened to get a new one in the post today so I
didn't need to disasssemble my X60.
