Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet

 

Moving seamlessly between laptop and note-taking modes, the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet is a superb convertible notebook with a first-rate keyboard--and it's a great tablet, thanks to a responsive screen that accepts input from both a digitizer pen and...

Superb convertible tablet, Shock-mounted hard drive

Expensive, ExpressCard, optical drive not built in

This top flight notebook/tablet hybrid is perfect for students and businesses.

Even though Lenovo's latest feels like it packs a lot of yesterday's tech, it's still a capable machine, at least for business users. The ThinkPad X60 doesn't

Included X6 Ultrabase adds slim optical drive, four USB ports, and stereo speakers. Available support for all four Wi-Fi standards (a/b/g/n) plus exceptional signal strength with internal EV-DO makes for a wireless powerhouse. LCD is even reasonably...

Expensive. 4:3 aspect ratio display feels cheesy. Fingertip doesn't track well on touchscreen and requires substantial and scary pressure. Overloaded with extra buttons, switches, and indicator lights. Would you choose the underside of a notebook,...

Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet

 

Lenovo's ThinkPad X60 is an ultra-light Tablet PC with a heavyweight punch. The X60 takes advantage of and positively upholds the excellent reputation of the IBM ThinkPad line of laptops. ThinkPads are slightly utilitarian in design, but this is part...

Feels fast and nimble; amazing 4GB RAM capacity; excellent battery life; biometric security

Thick body (with dock); no built-in optical drive; busy keyboard

The X60 has numerous features that are absolutely ideal for corporate and mobile-management use.

The best convertible on the market gets a serious upgrade, with a more versatile display and more power.

Exceptionally light for a convertible ; Best keyboard ; Six-plus hours of battery life with extended battery ; Generous Tablet buttons

Sluggish hard drive ; Weak microphone and speaker

Hands-on with Lenovo's X60 Tablet PC

 

We already showed you a review of the thing, but now we've got an X60t of our own, and we thought you'd give you our impressions, along with a nice bevy of pictures of this tablet in the flesh. As always, you can find the pics after the break, so lets...

It seemed inevitable that the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 line would include the elusive tablet capabilities, but for many tablet buffs it's been a long wait. I've seen the entire ThinkPad line move through two generations of Intel processorsexcept for the...

Intel Core Duo components. Three screen options. New digitizer pen. Daylong battery life

You'll need the dock for the optical drive. Runs a little warm

The ultimate tablet experience is back with a faster processor, new screen options and built-in EV-DO.

Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC / Notebook Convertible Review

 

The look is of course the same classic boxy black as other ThinkPads, it's professional and distinct looking. Gone from the X60t is the old red and blue coloring Lenovo used to use on the ultranav areas, buttons are now silver and a little plainer than...

Great performance for a 12.1" ultraportable notebook / tablet convertible ; Very good battery life with up to 5 hours on an 8-cell ; Great feeling pen with both pen input and eraser input feeling quite natural, the keyboard input is superb too ; Very...

A little bland looking for some maybe if you don't go for the all black look ; Mono-speaker is tinny and tough to hear as it's on the bottom of the device ; No ThinkLight that other ThinkPads carry (if you've never used a ThinkPad you won't miss this)...

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...

Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Portable Computer Review and Prices

 

Just because a portable computer is thin and light doesn't mean that can't have great power. Take, for example, Lenovo's ThinkPad X60. This ultraportable computer weighs just around three pounds, yet is powered by an Intel Core Duo processor and...

Very portable, good core power

No built-in optical drive

If you are reading this review I'm guessing you have heard of Lenovo. If you have not here is a quick history lesson. With IBM moving toward all business solutions, Lenovo acquired IBM's Personal Computing Division in May 2005. Lenovo offers laptop and...

Of course you know of IBM, but the Lenovo name may be new to you. It was to several of us here at 3LUXE. Lenovo is a highly regarded tech company that acquired IBM's PC unit, with IBM then taking a minority ownership position in their company. The...
