ThinkPad X61 Tablet - The Winning Formula
Despite a number of impressive convertible tablet entries - namely from HP, Fujitsu and Toshiba, the X61 Tablet's time-honoured design and solid features, including the best keyboard and writing experience in the industry - make it the winning formula for the best business tablet on the market, earning another Editors' Choice award
 |
(PC Magazine Editor Choice Review, October 12, 2007). |
Why is X61 Tablet the best tablet business machine?
- The magnesium alloy–backed frame guarding against wear and tear.
- The Black Classic Business Design
- The standard matte 12-inch screen optimised for viewing and writing. Major competing tablets have wide screens forcing the user to frequent vertical scrolling. Moreover, the intensely bright glossy screens on competing tablets maximise glare.
- The best typing experience with unmatched full-size seven row ThinkPad keyboard.
- TrackPoint pointing stick, this technology is one of a kind.
- The best balance of performance and battery life with a low voltage Intel Core 2 Duo. Our competitor offering Ultra-low voltage (ULV) processors have a tough time keeping up with Windows Vista slowing down your system.
Did you know? - New Tablet features in Vista
- Faster recognition in Tablet Input Panel through AutoComplete
- Personalised handwriting recognition and identification of unique words and phrases
- Easier navigation and editing shortcuts using pen flick gestures
- Easy ways to see when a pen or fingertip is acting as a cursor

NEW ThinkCentre A61e
Lenovo's latest and most energy efficient PC, the ThinkCentre A61e ultra small form factor desktop PC, takes another step forward. Lenovo designed the A61e to consume approximately one-half the electricity of a standard small form factor desktop.

- Its low electricity use reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Quiet operation:

Small size and low weight:
- The A61e weighs 8-pounds and measures 10.8-inches wide, 9.5- inches deep and 3.2-inches high, making it the smallest ThinkCentre and reducing shipping and packaging costs.
Improved manageability and reliability:
- The A61e includes the Lenovo ThinkVantage Technology (TVT) PC management suite.
- Its energy efficiency guards against heat-induced hard drive failures.
Low cost of acquisition
- The A61e starts at under $1,000, meaning it does not cost more than other small form factor desktops.
