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).
