ThinkPad_X60.jpgThe Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC has been reviewed by Tablet PC Review and let's see what the experts have to say! They dig the X60 for goodies like ; its battery life, its overall performance, its solid casing, its wireless communication offerings, the onboard feature set which includes Active Rotate, NavDial and MultiTouch and the number of ports which are pretty decent for an ultra-portable. However the X60 is not perfect and they were not impressed by its plain looks, the onboard speakers and the fact that it lacks an optical drive built-in.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC is an ultra-portable lappy/tablet which boasts of a 12 inch XGA MultiTouch display and draws it juice from an Intel Core Duo processor T2400. One also comes across features like embedded wireless antennas to access wireless wide area networks and 3G networks, DDR 2 SDRAM, a 60GB Serial ATA HDD, WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet, a fingerprint reader and support for PCI Express architecture.

The review ends on a positive note "The engineers at Lenovo really put their thinking caps on for the past year in developing the new X60 Tablet PC, the focus was certainly on usability and how to improve the tablet experience. I think they hit a homerun. The XGA MultiTouch display and SXGA+ offering are outstanding options, the MultiView is also really nice for a tablet pc where you'll be using it in all types of lighting environments and holding it at various angles. The port selection for an ultraportable is superb. The keyboard is as good as ever. The build is ThinkPad solid, there's no flex anywhere on the body. The battery life is as good as it can be. And best of all the performance with the Core Duo and 2.5" 7200RPM hard drive is vastly improved over the X41t. Pricing starts at around $1,700 initially on the X60t, this will be pricey for some, but for business users this could be a formidable tool and if you're off to college for 4 years maybe you could justify the cost if you think of it as an investment in your ability to perform better in school and be more efficient."
