What You Should Know about the ThinkPad X60 Tablet

Multitask and Not Bog Down

The more memory a PC has, the faster your programs run and the more windows you can work in simultaneously. Equipped with memory between 1GB and 3GB, this laptop should be able to handle just about any task you can throw at it without bogging down too much. For instance, if you're a multitasker and you'd like to burn a music CD in one window while watching your favorite DVD movie (for the umpteenth time) in another--while flipping between your inbox and your browser to work on your blog during the movie's boring parts--this laptop can manage it all without a hiccup.

Strengths: It strength lies in that from Lenovo this system is only good for a user who doesnt care about crapware or does not have a clue about computers

Weaknesses: can not reinstall with fresh clean tablet. ThinkVantage. IBM crapware. Why would I need to have DVD software if I didnt order this with a DVD or CD ROM.

Overall Evaluation: I think this IBM tablet is not for the business. You can not reinstall the tablet with a different Tablet CD and use the license that came with the tablet. If you want to complete a customize installation then you must pay additional charges to Lenovo to complete this.

Strengths: Stylus and Handwriting Recognition Keyboard Sturdy Hinge Runs Vista Beautifully Screen does not show finger prints

Weaknesses: Screen is not so bright Battery life is good, but not great 8 cell battery jiggles a bit on back

Overall Evaluation: I love this computer. The tablet works beautifully and feels very natural. The handwriting recognition, even before any training, is excellent. The keyboard is clicky rather than squishy. The screen hinge feels very sturdy. I only wish the screen could be a bit brighter (I have the higher resolution model)., and less importantly, that the battery at the back connected a bit more sturdily. Overall, I am extremely pleased.
