Lenovo X61 Tablet Review: A Portable Powerhouse

The Lenovo X61 Tablet computer, has provided the computer world
with a sleek, highly portable, and highly versatile convertible
PC notebook of the kind is highly in demand by people who are
always on the go, such as university students, field reps,
entrepreneurs, and soccer moms. In addition, it's very simply a
tool totally designed for geeks such as the helplessly computer
enamored and professional writers and journalists.

Lenovo's beloved X series of personal convertible electronic
notebooks continues its evolution of the electronic tablet with
the Lenovo X61 Tablet, an improvement even over its 'PC
Magazine' Editor's choice, the forerunner X41, while taking care
of the flaws of the in-between X60 (more efficient performance,
longer battery life, and higher testers' scores against industry
expectations).

The Lenovo X61 Tablet takes miniaturization to another level
while improving computational power and versatility. This is a
good thing, although some PC users might be somewhat irritated
at times with the Munchkinization that can make typing a little
more of a challenge for those with larger than average sized
hands, especially men.

The Lenovo X61 Tablet has been all the rage in the PC savvy
world since it was released last year. It sports what is still
considered to be the very best laptop keyboard in the industry
and a sturdy, rugged, sleek black matte finish over a light
circuitry chassis (made with light-but-strong magnesium alloy),
and it's almost instantly ready as soon as you get it out of the
box.

The ThinkPad X61's electronics were based on Intel's Santa Rosa
platform, which was the very first x86 (Core and Pentium CPU
chips) chip platform to be introduced for PCs back in 2003. The
Lenovo X61 Tablet's powerful Core 2 Duo processor (X61 models
come customized with your choice of the R, T, X, or Z family) is
in the direct line of descent from this platform.

Because of its target audience, the Lenovo X61 Tablet does not
give in to the industry warming trend of the wide screen, but
keeps the standard 12" screen, keeping vertical scrolling needs
lesser. Not only does it have, despite its miniaturization, the
full-sized keyboard that made the X41 so beloved, it also
features cutting edge TrackPoint pointer-stick technology that
is simply unmatched.

The ThinkPad X61 Tablet's one of a kind 180° swivel hinge
allows cutting edge screen swivel-and-flip mobility ideal for
note-taking, writing, database management, and collaborating.

The Lenovo X61 Tablet is fully compatible with Windows Vista
and it can be fitted with embedded WWAN (wireless wide area
network, or "wireless broadband"), adding even more to its
on-the-go versatility. It's also very easy to use function keys
that enable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology.

However, the X61 Tablet has been criticized by some for not
having a built-in optical drive (Lenovo offers a separate,
attachable docking station but that weights two pounds, and the
built-in optical option was kept out for the sake of weight in
the first place).

typically begin a over $1,500 but you can find this popular

New Generation Mobile Phones

Mobile phones have become a sixth finger to many people around
the world. Mobile phones are playing much important and
inevitable part in our lives. It has brought our lives in to
such a situation that we cannot even live without a mobile
phone. New mobile phones are released every week from a large
number of brands around the world. New technologies have been
introduced.

Research and development are still going on in the field of
mobile computing. It is on of the hottest field available today.
Internet made a large difference in computing. But the mobile
phones are going to have a complete makeover on the internet.
There was a time where we sit in front of the desktop computer
to browse the websites and send e-mails. Later laptop computer
made the things easier. Now it is the turn of mobile phones now.
In past days mobile phones are like the regular telephones apart
that we can take it along with us and send text messages. Now it
has changed. Mobile phones have become a mini computer. You can
do a lot of stuffs on your mobile. It has become digital
assistant for you. Present day mobiles are mainly multimedia
mobile phones. That is it can do a variety of functions apart
from making calls and sending text messages. Mobiles phones of
present days have camera attached to it so that you won't miss a
single moment to keep in your memories. The clarity of mobile
phone cameras are getting improved day by day. Mobile phones
with 5 mega pixel cameras have been released in the recent
years. Sony Ericsson has declared that they are going to release
a mobile phone with 12 mega pixel cameras soon. The most widely
used application of the mobile phone is the internet
connectivity. Those who want to remain connected to the internet
can now use their GPRS or EDGE enabled mobile phones to browse
internet or send mails. 3G or third generation phones are the
revolutionary candidates here. But it has not been implemented
all over the world. Now 4G is planning to make its debut. Also
mobile phones are available with WiFi enabled. Other
connectivity options include Bluetooth and infrared which are
short range wireless communication technologies. It help us to
send files over the air without the help of any cables over a
short distance. Present day mobiles are bundled with a lot of
memory options. Memory cards ranging from 2 gigabytes to 8
gigabytes are available in the market. The most recent success
in mobile phone industry was that of the apple. The touch screen
version of their mobile phone which they called it as the
i-phone has been a big hit. Around 128000 pieces were sold out
in the very first day of its release. What made it such a big
hit is that it was a complete touch screen based phone. It had
no keypads.

Everything was done at the touch of a finger. It made look
everything easier than ever and it really did. More
computational power is going to be introduced to the mobile
phones. After some years, your mobile phones can do what ever
your desktop computer can do now. Those days are not so far from
now. Then computational power will be available anywhere
anytime.

Uni-Solar Portable Solar Electric Light Panels - Charging Laptops the Gree

Aren't laptops brilliant? Comparatively equal in power to
desktops, and portable, too. Take them away for weeks on end,
and have access to all the same programs and applications. Its
freedom personified.

Unless you forget your charger.

For - as much as you can run around with a laptop - the things
still need to run on power. In the past, this would mean costly
electricity bills and products that consumed high levels of
energy.

But Uni-Solar are looking to change that with their 'Portable
Solar Electric Light Panels'.

The chargers come in several models. At the cheapest end of the
range is the 'UNI-PAC 10', which offers dual voltage charging
for 12 and 24V. It can be folded down to a size of 254mm in
length and 139mm in width, with a depth of 51 mm.

The 'UNI-PAC 15' and the 'UNI-PAC 34' both offer 12V power
systems, but can be compressed to smaller sizes. The final
folded sizes for the 'UNI-PAC 34' are still to be confirmed, but
the 'UNI-PAC 15' - whilst at the same width as the 'UNI-PAC 10'
- has a folded length of 236mm. It has a larger depth of 78mm.

Each model, then, can be folded into the size of a book, making
it a convenient and efficient eco-friendly product.

They were originally designed to meet military requirements,
and to be used in the field, so a hardy piece of equipment is
all but guaranteed. As their website details:

"Solar modules for remote applications must be tough,
lightweight and easy to transport. UNI-SOLAR UNI-PACs are
designed for the challenge of the field. They provide power even
with bullet holes or in partial shade. The UNI-PAC can be
dropped, stepped on, packed and re-deployed, and will continue
to operate."

It is unlikely that anyone buying the UNI-PAC for commercial
use will suffer bullet damage, but it still nice to know, and
certainly gives a slightly surreal piece of mind; portable
equipment that hardy isn't going to break if you drop it out of
your suitcase or down the stairs.

Indeed, the UNI-PAC officials know that there are other markets
out there:

"Field-proven as dependable and easy to use for military units,
trekkers, climbers and professional photographers depend on the
UNI-PAC for field communications, emergency power and battery
maintenance."

Of course, there is nothing to say that it can't also provide
adequate cover for essays, spreadsheets, surfing the internet,
or on-line gaming. And with the UNI-PAC 10 weighting just
2.1lbs, and the UNI-PAC 15 weighing 3.25lbs, the ability to do
just those things comfortably and easily within an environmental
framework is easier than it ever was.

Even if there was a freak malfunction - having withstood an
attack from masked gunmen as you threw your charger down the
stairs at the airport playing rugby - then the company grants
five year warranty.

Yet more piece of mind.

For the environmentally minded, then, the Uni-Solar Portable
Solar Electric Light Panels are a good alternative to
traditional laptop chargers. And versatile as they are, they can
be used for other appliances too.

Perhaps best of all, though, you can tell you friends that you
own a piece of military equipment.

POW!
