Lenovo IBM Thinkpad X61 Reviews

With the ThinkPad X61Tablet, Lenovo offers the best combination of performance, battery life, and keyboard experience on a convertible tablet.

Best keyboard on a tablet PC. Built tough for the road. EV-DO or HSDPA modem embedded. Fast hard drive. Best combination of performance and battery life. Nice grip on the digitizer pen.

If you need an optical drive, the docking station is going to be expensive. System is starting to look heavy against the competition.

The combination of performance, battery life, and usability is the Lenovo ThinkPad X61 Tablet's winning formula.

Though the optical drive is not integrated, everything else about this business portable is top-notch, especially battery life.

Our review unit, which included an UltraBase docking station with a dual-layer DVD burner, costs $1724 (as of July 27, 2007). The great performance and features, and its reasonable price, make the X61 our current top choice of ultraportable

The Lenovo ThinkPad X61 is an ultraportable business laptop geared to individuals who demand the best. Like its larger brothers of the ThinkPad line, it shares all of the same rugged features, as well as the comfort of a full-size keyboard.
