Well, it’s finally here—the X41 has landed. This ultra-light tablet with nice battery life and a swivel screen as well as—if this photo is any indication—amazing anti-gravity powers. The laptop runs the standard Centrino menu with a 12.1″ TFT and an optional dock.
I love the idea of tablets and have used one for two years now, but I just can’t see where Lenovo is headed with this. While this is the nicest-looking tablet I’ve seen in all my years, it’s certainly not the best or the most interesting in terms of specs. I know IBM milks the most out of their batteries, so it’s sure to run for at least 6 or 7 hours before conking out. However, it’s a tablet. I am much more interested in seeing the Nokia 770 mini surfing tablet which I believe is the real future of Internet appliances/tablets. If you can meld wireless+portable CPU+touchscreen+small size+Linux+portable porn, then you’ve got a winner. Until then, get in line Lenovo.
