Lenovo ThinkPad X61t ultraportable tablet PC

 

A tidy little 1.9kg unit, the tablet version of Lenovo's ThinkPad X61, the Lenovo ThinkPad X61t ultraportable lacks an integrated optical drive, but it has a great design, long battery life, and an easy-on, easy-off docking station.

Those who aren't sure they need or want a tablet might be better suited to the nontablet X61 model, but if you heavily rely on pen input, the Lenovo ThinkPad X61t is the way to go.

Lenovo supplies its X series ThinkPad as a regular laptop and also as a reversible Tablet in both X60 and X61 variants, so that's four basic models, but there are so many options and variants that it's almost impossible to list them in a tidy way - but...

Lenovo ThinkPad X61 (76765CM)

 

Weighing just 1.68kg and featuring a built-in Vodafone 3G mobile Internet connection, Lenovo's ThinkPad X61 is an excellent choice for the mobile-mind...
