IBM & Lenovo produce their first tablet PC - ThinkPad X41 Tablet

The new Lenovo released it's first notebook - and we can claim that this is also IBM's first Tablet PC. M$ and other tablet-players are probably pretty happy about it, as IBM's entrance to the market usually gives it some sort of business legitimacy and market starts growing.

As this machine is building on success of IBM's X-product line, which means ultra small, ultra light and therefore extremely portable machines, this should be a good starting point for sales: proven technology, design and advantages - just upgraded to a tablet level.

However, don't get overexcited and first think if this sort of machine is appropriate (and needed) for your (business) environment. Some people like to panic and claim that something like this means end of "ordinary notebook computing". No it doesn't. It's just giving users more choice.




I'm looking forward to getting this little baby on test ... till then, check out what CNET is saying:
